CURRICULUM 1 - Engineering and Industrial Design, Machine Construction, Metallurgy, and Manufacturing Technologies

The curriculum aims to train highly qualified researchers and engineers in the field of Mechanical Engineering, capable of addressing research issues in disciplines such as mechanical design and machine construction, industrial engineering design and methods, manufacturing technologies and systems, and metallurgy. The main research topics include: 

• Advanced metallic and composite materials: properties, design, transformation processes, heat treatments, and microstructure;
• Experimental mechanics, characterization, and development of constitutive models;
• Methods and tools for industrial design; -Fatigue and tribological behavior of metallic materials, including those subjected to surface treatments, and advanced composite materials;
• Mechanical constructions and structures;
• Design, production, and microstructural characteristics of components produced using innovative processes such as additive manufacturing;
• Analysis and optimization of conventional and innovative technologies;
• Numerical simulation for design and process studies.
