Dr. Sergio Baragetti is Full Professor of Machine Design and Computational Mechanics at the Università degli Studi di Bergamo – Italy. He graduated in Mechanical Engineering in 1994 from Politecnico di Milano. Ph.D. in Quality Engineering in 1998, Università di Firenze. His research activities include the numerical and experimental study of the effects induced by surface treatments on the fatigue behavior of mechanical components, the study of the corrosion fatigue mechanisms in aqueous environments, the study of the surface thin hard coatings effects on the fatigue, contact fatigue and corrosion fatigue behavior of mechanical components. Components and structures analysis: evaluation of the limit load for hydraulic actuators, evaluation of fatigue resistance for innovative railway undercarriages, study and optimisation of conical threaded connections for oil applications, design of devices for fatigue tests, design of crankshafts and connecting rods, design of components for lifting appliances, design of highly accelerated inert vibrating screening units and probabilistic analysis of components and structures. He is the Director of GITT – Centre on Innovation Management and Technology Transfer of the University of Bergamo. He is the Director of the Structural mechanics’ Laboratory of the University of Bergamo. He is the author of more than 210 papers and patents.
