NOVA

NOVA (NOnlinear Vibration of Assemblies) is an engineering software developed by the AerMec research group at the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering of Politecnico di Torino. NOVA, is based on a set of novel models and algorithms, aimed at structural dynamic analysis of mechanical components involving friction contacts, mainly, but not only in aerospace and turbomachinery industries. It is developed for efficient and accurate prediction of the nonlinear vibratory response of mechanical assemblies (e.g. bladed disks in gas turbines/aero-engines) coupled with friction joints.
