Programma del corso (5 CFU):
Descrizione:
This course is a broad introduction to the principles of functioning of functional nanomaterials, with their operation in a variety of sensor architectures and modalities, including pressure, strain, thermal, optical and bioelectric. Illustrative applications in practical engineering problems, such as monitoring civil engineering structural components using smart concretes and smart bricks will be discussed. Moreover, fundamentals of 3d printing of composites, including the characterization of the material, are introduced. Students are required to complete a laboratory tests, or simulations, and a final project consists on the proposal of a smart monitoring network for a civil engineering problem using smart materials.
