The Laboratory of Dynamics and Vibrations of Machines is located at the DIME headquarters on Via Opera Pia. It is designed to conduct basic and applied research on mechanical structures and components and to host experimental activities of an educational nature. DYNAMO is used for part of the lessons in Modeling and Experimentation in the Dynamics of Mechanical Systems (Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering), Mechanics of Vibrations (Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Design and Production), and Vehicle Mechanics, as well as for the development of bachelor's and doctoral theses.
The laboratory's equipment includes systems for measuring vibrations and noise based on accelerometers, microphones, and optical vibrometers, electromechanical systems for the controlled generation of forces, and instruments for signal acquisition and analysis. There are also experimental setups for studying dynamic phenomena in rotors, hydrodynamic bearings, and vibrations of linear and non-linear systems.
