Experimental Test Laboratory

The Experimental Test Laboratory is at the service of thesis works, reasearch and tests for external customers; it is equippeed with testing machines, measurement instrumentation, data acquisition systems. It also performes extensometric tests.

The laboratory is able to carry out several kinds of tests:

• Material static, dynamic and fatigue characterization tests.
• Static tests; buckling tests; modal analysis tests; fatigue tests onmechanical components.
• Thermomechanical analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, viscosity measurements.

Short Bio

A technician with a chemical background, she has been working in the field of characterization and production of materials for over thirty years, with a focus on dynamic-mechanical tests, analysis and observation of surfaces, thermal, thermo-mechanical and rheological tests.

She actively collaborates in test activities, research and thesis projects, and she is co-author of various publications. Over time, alongside the mainly technical activity, she has joined the activity of qualified system auditor at the Politecnico in the context of Italcert and Accredia certifications. She has collaborated in the management of non-institutional teaching activities (Masters, advanced training courses) and congresses.

She manages the DAER orientation for incoming students (Summer School).

At DAER, she also takes care of the request and verification of safety requirements for users who access the facilities, managing the Departmental Safety Course (online and on site) and the Course on the Use of Simple Machine Tools.
