Mechanical Engineering Malaga

This research group that conducts its business in the School of Industrial Engineering and the Polytechnic School, is composed of 12 researchers, 5 of them are Doctors Engineers and the rest graduates. They make their labour both at teaching and researching, and also providing services to industry.

Research Topics

• Engineering Vehicle: - Dynamic behavior of tires modeling. - Development of theoretical and experimental intelligent braking systems in cars. Simulation on test bench. - Behavior in-service security-oriented in cars. Automation testing lines of ITV. - Design and manufacture of a buggy type vehicle for use as a platform for the development of new subsystems.
• Biomechanics: mechanical behavior of the lumbar spine.
• Modeling prosthetic knee as an aid for selecting the optimal surgical technique.
• WINMECC: Developing specific software for simulation and synthesis of plane mechanisms.
• Mechanical aspects in the design of mobile robots: mechanical design, dynamic simulation, optimization of trajectories.

Scientific-Technical Services
