Mechanical and Thermal Measurements Laboratory
ERC 2nd Level Code
ERC 3rd level Code
Research Activities
The laboratory of Mechanical and Thermal Measurements is arranged to perform mainly experimental activity typical of the field of research: basic metrology, calibration of sensors, design and manufacture of instrumentation for environmental applications, analysis of the signals, the temperature and pressure measurements, vibration measurements, acoustic measurements, fluid dynamic measurements. Part of the equipment available also allows its use for educational activities, mainly addressed to laboratory internships, where students can simulate and / or manage the tools operation through LabView or Matlab / Simulink platforms on opportune teaching test benchs.
