Engineering - DIEF
The engineering research activities at UNIMORE in both the theoretical and applied fields, are thus combined. Research and technology developed within DIEF covers mechanical, electronic and environmental engineering, but the flagship is the area of vehicle engineering. Thermo-fluid dynamics of engines, structural design of vehicles and engine components, fluid-power systems, aerodynamics, NVH are the areas where outstanding expertise can be found. This is confirmed by the presence of some advanced research laboratories co-funded by DIEF personnel and Ferrari SpA: Laboratoriorosso for fluid-dynamics, Millechili for chassis design, Millechili Materials for advanced material design for automotive. Additive manufacturing is also an area of increasing interest for the department.
