Mechanical Testing

The laboratory activities include performing static and dynamic tests to qualify the mechanical properties of both traditional and innovative materials, as well as welded joints, in compliance with current standards, even in harsh environments and at different temperatures. The laboratory also offers the possibility to carry out non destructive tests on welded joints and small components. The head of the laboratory is Vincenzo Crupi, Full Professor of Naval constructions and implants (IIND-01/B) and responsible of the NETTUNO (Green and lightweight design of ship and offshore structures for sustainable mobility and blue growth) research group of the University of Messina. The expertise areas include Naval constructions and implants (IIND-01/B) and Mechanical Design and Machine Construction (IIND-03/A).
