Research topics

Displacement measurement analysis, by means of laser ESPI technique, for dynamic characterization, modal identification, stress&strain evaluation, fatigue behaviour analysis and non-destructive testing of mechanical components.
This topic continues the studies started in the "Speckle interferometry for industrial needs" project at Dantec Ettemeyer GmbH, Ulm (Germany), during the European Commission Marie Curie Post Doctoral Host Fellowship in 2004-2005. The research first aims at checking the portability of ESPI (Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry, full-field non contact technique) measurement datasets toward the traditional modal analysis domain (estimation and sharing of Frequency Response Functions). Then a better insight about the influence of the high degree of freedom number (100K to 2M dofs) and of the spatially highly defined displacement fields over modal model estimation and over dynamic analysis of complex and lightweight structures is searched. On these latter, the high modal density and eigenshape complexity result in a difficult set-up for traditional measurement devices, like accelerometer arrays.
From highly defined displacement fields and object shape-contour description it might also be possible to evaluate the stress&strain field on the surface directly from dynamic event measurements: such an ESPI-based dynamic strain or modal model might be employed in fatigue and durability estimation of complex objects.
The usage of ESPI datasets as input/boundary condition in sound radiation estimation will be also considered, being this a part of a wider research, interested in the vibro-acustic modeling of complex systems: the dynamic signature of the components affects the emitted sound pressure of the whole system, coming from the vibrating surfaces.
The high density of spatial information contained in ESPI datasets will be also studied for non-destructive testing procedures, considering techniques deriving from image processing and compression, beside others computationally suited for the size of the problem.
In particular, distributed parallel computing on GPU will be implemented by means of the CUDA programming environment from NVIDIA Corporation, sponsor of the project "GPU perspectives in Full-field Optical Measurements for Advanced Structural Dynamics" and that is greatly acknowledged for the given material and for hosting the on-going researches.

Development of methods for the study of the elastodynamic behaviour of complex spatial mechanisms, by means of multibody and modal substructuring approaches. (top)
The research activity aims at an approach for the dynamic behaviour analysis of spatial mechanisms (from the simple ones to vehicles, robots, automatic and tooling machines), constituted by rigid and/or flexible parts coupled together by kinematical constraints with varying relative dofs.
Linearized modal models of the system will be formulated in the neighborhood of the kinematically admissible configurations, the latter being functions of the selected motion laws in the working domain of the mechanism. The linearized modal model will be assembled by means of numerical techniques, such as multibody modeling and Lagrange multipliers, to model the boundary conditions and the flexibility of the parts (by a modal base, either experimental or analytical-numerical).
A numerical code will result from this research activity, implementing the above described procedure with different kinematic constraints and able to automatically write and solve the related equations. Testing on real prototypes should follow for the validation of the approach.

The approch has been verified in planar models when the linearisation conditions are given by the time integration of the highly non linear motion equations, in which also non-linear elastic & damping properties are taken into account, besides those offered by the kinematics. Below are presented pictures from the frequency analysis of a time-varying problem, where a motorcycle, whith suspensions and deformable tires, runs over uneven terrains.

Diagnostics of mechanical systems by means of signal processing. (top)
This activity starts with a literature survey on consistent diagnostics techniques for complex mechanical systems, focusing in particular on defect modeling in mechanical components like gears and bearings, and on damage identification by means of signal processing techniques on vibro-acustic signals. Non conventional techniques will be also explored. Experiments to test the fault identification procedures will be carried on, both in the laboratory and on field, in industrial environment.

This research activity had application on small/medium size electrical machine bearing diagnosis, thus equipped with both rolling and fluid film bearings, in partnership with the course "Reliability and statistics for electrical systems L" and "Maintenance and diagnostics of electrical systems LS" hold by Prof. A. Cavallini with the collegues of DIE-Electrical Engineering Dep. - LIMAT Lab of materials engineering and high voltages.
For the rolling bearings a hardware/software system has been implemented in order to acquire the accelerometric signals and make their advanced analysis to identify the fault sources, brought by distributed damages and/or localised faults on the races and rolling elements. The success of the experimental campaign on a test rig and on the field have demonstrated the feasibility of the approach. From this work 1 first level dissertation (F. Cassarini, "IMPLEMENTAZIONE DI UN SISTEMA PER LA DIAGNOSTICA INTEGRATA DELLE MACCHINE ROTANTI",a.a.2007-2008) and 1 second level dissertation (A. Fortini, "ALGORITMI DIAGNOSTICI PER CUSCINETTI IN MACCHINE A INDUZIONE: IMPLEMENTAZIONE E VERIFICA SPERIMENTALE", a.a.2007-2008) came.

For the fluid film bearings the main phenomena regarding medium size electrical machines with flexible rotor have been investigated: unbalance, resonance, oil-whirl and oil-whip. A specific test rig has been designed and manufactured to reproduce all these dynamic problems coming from the complex interaction between the flexible body dynamics of the rotor and the fluid-dynamic supports. A complete measurement system has been prepared, which allows, besides the common results and the implementation of the appropriate norms of reference, to obtain the orbit of the centre of the axle in the measurement section, in both the time and frequency domain, filtering the single spectral components and coming to the causes of the final orbit shape. The results on the test rig have been fully satisfactory. Soon an experimental campaign on the field will be started. There came 1 second level degree dissertation (D. Pontara, "IMPLEMENTAZIONE di un SISTEMA per il MONITORAGGIO e la DIAGNOSTICA dei CUSCINETTI a STRISCIAMENTO", a.a.2010/2011).

Development of methodologies to estimate the cutting forces in tooling machines, by means of an instrumented dynamometric table. (top)
The first part of the activity aims at obtaining the FE model of the tooling machine Giuliani MT3 C, acquired by DIEM for researches about active controlled vibrations in industrial machinery. Useful information, about the dynamic behaviour and about design guidelines for the dynamometric table, are awaited from the modal analysis of the frame coupled to the sledges and to the item-carrying table.
The dynamic behaviour of the whole system induces inertia actions on the instrumented table, due to the rigid body motion of the latter, even if fixed, through the force transducers, to the main structure. The procedure, object of this study, will thus take account for filtering out, from the cutting force estimation, the inertia forces deriving from the rigid body constrained motion of the instrumented table. By means of processing the force and acceleration signals coming from the table, an equivalent inertia force system is pursued, the latter having to be subtracted from the force transducer signals to obtain a more precise estimation of the cutting forces in working conditions.
