"Study and optimization of the mechanical properties of nautical components through nanotechnological processes and the use of mechanotronic systems"The research focused on:- Nano coating process for offshore nautical components for the resolution of biofouling problems- Mechanisms of formation of the Biofouling process and problems connected to it in the marine environment, related to the hulls and propulsion systems (such as the propellers) of boats, related to the increase in surface roughness of the hull, increase in hydrodynamic resistance and consequent increase in consumption of fuel, corrosion and wear of mechanical components.- Alternative methods for the prevention and control of biofouling, to the mechanical and chemical methods currently used, such as the application of biocides harmful to the marine environment.- Application of micro and nanotechnologies in the design and manufacture of innovative anti-biofouling coatings. Nanomaterials for the prevention of biofouling that can repel microorganisms through hydrophobic nanostructures.- Micro and nanotechnological processes and more detailed research and study of some production processes of micro and nano anticorrosive and anti-wear materials for surface coating.

FEM analysis for the development (design, construction and assembly) of an automatic five-axis work center, with tilting table and a minimum quantity system lubrication (MQL) and with modularity characteristics. Research and development of a new five-axis automatic work center, with a tilting table and a minimum quantity lubrication system (MQL) and with modularity features.Design of various functional groups and machine repairs using 2D / 3D Solidworks / autocad CAD modeling software, FEM analysis, 2D drawing, technical report writing.Control and expediting activities at the welded suppliers;Development of a procedure for the validation of machines and systems during testing (reference standards UNI ISO 230-1 ÷ 6 and 10791-1 ÷ 12). Geometric tests through the use of lines and squares; Ball Bar tests and analysis (circular hysteresis, inversion peaks, play and lateral play, orthogonality, straightness, scale error, cyclic error, servomotors, etc.); tests, analysis and compensation through the use of interferometric laser. Results evaluated by diagnostic trace in% and in mm, Diagnostic statistics, Circularity according to UNI ISO 230-4.The results obtained from the laser tests were analyzed and displayed using dedicated software according to various International Regulations (NMTBA, ANSI B5.54, VDI, BSI, JIS, ISO).For each type of test a test card was built to run on the machine with a graphical schematization of the activity to be performed, a table in which to insert the results of the surveys and the correct procedure for carrying out each test, in accordance with the standard of reference. The cards also included the equipment needed to carry out the surveys.Experience abroad: OPEL - Aspern, Austria, to verify the work cycle times of the "engine change" assembly line.
