Andrea Tridello

Andrea Tridello is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Italy, and a member of the Interdepartmental Center J-Tech@PoliTO. His academic work focuses on mechanical design, fatigue analysis, and additive manufacturing technologies with significant contributions to Very High Cycle Fatigue (VHCF) research.

Dr. Tridello's research spans multiple areas including Additive Manufacturing, Composite Materials, Fatigue Behavior, and Machine Learning applications for predicting material responses. His work addresses critical challenges in non-destructive testing methodologies for damaged composites, fatigue analysis of additively manufactured components, and the mechanical behavior of lattice structures. He has developed machine learning algorithms specifically for predicting mechanical behavior of structural materials.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of additive manufacturing and fatigue analysis, with particular attention to defect characterization, statistical modeling of fatigue data, and development of predictive algorithms. His research also extends to composite materials, exploring impact damage assessment and non-destructive evaluation techniques across aerospace and automotive applications.

• Young Researcher Award from VHCF8 conference (2021)
• Steering Committee member of European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) (2024-)
• Steering Committee member of Italian Fracture Group (2023-)
• Editorial Board member of FRACTURE AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY (2023-)
• Editor-in-Chief of MATERIAL DESIGN & PROCESSING COMMUNICATIONS (2023-)

Dr. Tridello actively supervises PhD students Alessio Centola (39th cycle) and Rujun Li (38th cycle). He leads and participates in significant research projects including ML4FatigueDesign (statistical software for fatigue data analysis), FAAST (Fatigue on Additive Alloys Speedy Technique), and PLEIADES (advancing aerospace composites). His work has practical applications across aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors.

He is a key member of the Mechanics of Materials and Joints research group within DIMEAS, focusing on fatigue, impact, and testing methodologies for advanced materials and structures, contributing to both theoretical frameworks and practical engineering solutions.
