Where Research Meets Racing: The Scuderia Tor Vergata Experience
The Scuderia Tor Vergata, the Formula Student team of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, has long been a space where theory meets application — where students transform engineering knowledge into tangible prototypes capable of competing on international tracks.
Dalla simulazione alla realtà: “Advanced Product Design and Optimization using FEM – APD_FEM”
L’Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata presenta il corso “Advanced Product Design and Optimization using FEM – APD_FEM”, un percorso formativo avanzato dedicato alla progettazione e all’ottimizzazione dei prodotti mediante il metodo degli elementi finiti (FEM). Il corso nasce con l’obiettivo di riunire nella stessa aula professionisti d’azienda, laureandi, neolaureati magistrali e dottorandi di ricerca, offrendo un’occasione unica di confronto su tematiche di frontiera nel campo della progettazione meccanica e strutturale. Attraverso lezioni teoriche e un project work applicativo, i partecipanti potranno approfondire gli strumenti e le metodologie più avanzate per l’analisi e l’ottimizzazione di sistemi complessi, integrando competenze accademiche e industriali.

We are pleased to announce the publication of our latest work in Smart Materials and Structures:
Aeroelastic Characterization of the VEGA C Launch Vehicle under Ground Wind Loads: EUCASS 2025 Presentation Now Available
The presentation “Dynamic Response of the VEGA C Launch Vehicle Subjected to Wind Effect on Ground”, delivered at EUCASS 2025, is now available for download. This work represents the outcome of a collaboration between AVIO, RBF Morph, and the University of Rome Tor Vergata, and addresses a critical aspect of launch vehicle safety and performance evaluation: the aeroelastic behavior of the VEGA C launcher exposed to wind loading during ground operations.
