This page collects a small, non-exhaustive selection of lecture notes developed during my Master’s thesis at Politecnico di Milano.
The material shown here is intentionally redacted and represents only random excerpts from different courses, shared for documentation and reference purposes rather than as complete study material.
All notes are written in LaTeX, with a focus on clarity, mathematical rigour, and engineering relevance.
Failure of Metals
Notes covering the mechanical failure of metallic materials, from physical mechanisms to engineering models.
Topics include embrittlement, fracture mechanics, fatigue, creep, and experimental testing methods, with emphasis on failure interpretation and model limitations.
- 📄 Lecture Notes: PDF
Materials for Energy
Lecture notes focused on materials challenges in the energy sector, largely structured around failure case studies.
The material addresses degradation mechanisms, high-temperature behaviour, and design constraints across conventional and renewable energy systems.
- 📄 Lecture Notes: PDF
Mathematical Methods
Theoretical notes supporting continuum mechanics and materials modelling.
Main topics include functional spaces, distributions, Fourier transforms, and partial differential equations, with attention to formalism and physical meaning.
- 📄 Lecture Notes: PDF
Surface Engineering
Notes on surface-related phenomena and treatments used to tailor material performance.
Covered subjects include friction and lubrication, chromium and zinc plating, advanced coatings, and industrial applications.
