Stefano Pandini

Dr. Ing. Stefano Pandini is Assistant Professor in the field of Materials Science and Technology. S. Pandini took a degree in Materials Engineering in 2003 (full marks “cum laude”; University of Trento) and a Ph.D degree in Materials Engineering in 2007 (Thesis title: "Time-temperature correlation on deformation, yielding and fracture phenomena in thermoplastic polymers for engineering applications"; University of Trento).

Since 2005 he works at the University of Brescia (Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering).

His research activity mainly concerns:

1) time-temperature effects on polymeric materials at small deformations: viscoelastic Poisson's ratio, stress-strain cyclic behavior;

2) the large deformations in polymeric materials: mechanical energy storage ad release strain recovery;

3) fracture mechanics of polymeric materials: essential work of fracture methodology, creep and fatigue testing;

4) shape memory effects in polymers: investigation on the structure-history-property relationships concerning the one-way and two-way shape memory effect in polymers.

S. Pandini contributes to the development of various research projects funded by agencies and companies in collaboration with national and international partners. S. Pandini is co-author of several peer- reviewed publications on international journals and contributions to International and National Conferences.
