July 2002 - March 2011
Motorcycle design and engineering; F.E.M. structural analisys, writing and management test reports. Referring for F.E.A workbench for certification of structural parts. Design equipments and frameset fatigue test benches. I have set up and realized the activities in order to choice the optimal F.E.A. workbench. This activity has demanded to improve some case studies in order to estimate the capabilities, calculation and rapidity of the several F.E.A. suites.
For two new projects (HUSQVARNA STR 650 and 450 TC Cross Racing Concept) and under the direct supervision of Mr. Massimo Tamburini, I have realized the vehicle layout, the kinematic suspension study, the DMU – Digital Mock Up for kinematic and dynamic simulations.
During the design process I have explored all the motorbike parts. I have followed rapid prototyping activities, I have selected and met suppliers (Fairs, visits and meeting).
I have studied and realized the tests for the structural characterization (torsional and bending

February 2001 - June 2002
Mechanical engineer and CAD designer at the BENELLI Racing Division. Design and development of the BENELLI TORNADO TRE 900 WSBK motorcycle (SBK World Championship). During the design and development process of the vehicle I have analyzed and optimized a lot of components of the frame, of the suspensions (front fork and rear swing arm), of the engine unit, of the wiring and the electronics for vehicle management. I have designed equipments and tools, frame welding gigs, static and dynamic test benches in order to calculate structural parameters of the chassis. I have compiled interactive data sheets and mathematical procedures of calculation in order to automate the operations of design, dimensioning and engineering verification.
