The SASLab Team works in the composite materials
sector and in the advanced structures. The main technologies (RTM, Filament Winding, Fotopolymerization) are studied through a specific theoretical study followed by an intense experimental activity. The technological problems associated to the manufacturing of composite structures are analyzed using Certified Software and Facilities. The composite approach is characterized by the following steps: 1) Study of the basic materials (polymers, curing agents, fibers) 2) Material compound definition 3) Development of the technological procedures 4) Numerical and FEM analysis of the designed aerospace elements 5) Experimental characterization of the basic materials, composite samples and structures. The SASLab Team works also in the development of Multigrid Lattice Structures, that may represent the future of aerospace structures (aircraft fuselages, launchers, lattice panels, etc.). The research in composite finds application not only in the structural sectors, but also in other sectors such as radars, thermal managements, solid propellant, etc.. Leggi (...) |
| Design and Numerical Analysis & Quality Assurance | The SASLab Engineers have a large experience in
design and structural- thermal analysis on high performance structures for aerospace, aeronautic, naval and mechanical applications. The main commercial Numerical Codes utilized: Femap-Nastran, Catia V5, LS-Dyna. The Structural Codes are capable to analyse metallic and flexible structures in order to solve a large variety of structural and impact (ballistic and bird impacts) problems. Resin injection transfer moulding process is simulated through dedicated numerical codes for composite structure technology applications.Leggi (...) |
The SASLab activities are monitored and controlled
by a Quality Office constituted by Certified Staff. Each activity (theoretical, experimental, etc.) is performed using a specific Operative Procedure, developed by the Quality Office. All tests and quality check follow International Standards.. Leggi (...) |
