- Contents
- The course of “Progettazione Meccanica Avanzata” aims to provide students the required skills for the design of mechanical components such as pressure vessels and rotating disks, as well as two-dimensional elements like plates and shells. In addition, students will acquire knowledge in the design of mechanical components through Finite Element Analysis.

Dispense del corso di “Progettazione meccanica avanzata” (Prof. Braccesi) - Educational objectives
- The course of "Progettazione Meccanica Avanzata" aims to provide methods for designing mechanical components in two-dimensional development (plates and shells) and to provide basic knowledge about the static design/analysis of mechanical components or systems through finite element analysis.
- Prerequisites
- In order to understand and be able to apply some of the techniques described in the teaching, preliminary knowledge of " Progettazione e Costruzione di Macchine " is required.
- Teaching methods
- The course will be held through classroom lectures.
All the teaching material used during the course is available through the Unistudium platform. - Other information
- Further information is available through the Unistudium page of the course. The teacher is available for consultations at the end of each lesson; consultations with the teacher in person or through the Microsoft Teams platform can also be arranged at other times.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam for the “Progettazione Meccanica Avanzata” course consists of an oral exam in which both the theoretical topics covered during the will be discussed. In addition, the exam requires the development of a project for a lifting system based on technical specifications and reference regulations and the realization of a finite element model to be preliminary discussed with the teacher. The project of the lifting system and the FE model and the results will be discussed during the oral exam.
