  Development of connection between Rhinoceros (geometry modelling) and ANSYS APDL to exchange the geometry, attributes like plate thickness, material quality and identification.Development of connection between NAPA (stability) and ANSYS APDL to create a balanced loading condition from the weight distribution (built up from mass elements) and the buoyancy distribution.Development of method to analyse double curved panels with respect to stability. High loaded curved plates are isolated from the global structure and calculated geometrically nonlinear, including imperfection (GNIA). From the GNIA the unity check and the buckling sensitivity are calculated. Together with the reduction factors obtained from the global analysis the strength and stability of the curved plates is proven. This method is also valid for complex loaded structural parts.

  Below you can find a brief overview of some of the finite element analysis I performed at DEKC.Complete ship models: -Conversion of Aeolus, Van Oord’s jack-up offshore installation vessel. This involves all class required FE analysis for jacked-up and sailing conditions.-Aeolus operational loading conditions analysis-Hopper dredger, strenght and fatigue analysis-SY Ethereal (60 m) -SY Twizzle (60 m)-SY high performance (58 m)-SY Sloop (60m)-Catamaran (65 m)-MY Aluminium (65 m)-MS M2 runner (90 m) -MS Heavy lift vessel (165 m)Partly shipmodels: -VC1000 (151 m 1000 TUE container vessel)-Combidock (162 m) -VG3800 (90 m General Cargo Vessel)-VG6000 (100 m General Cargo Diesel-Electric) -Mast and lift keel supports of several sailing yachtsCIG Architecture: -Link Bridge Abu Dhabi (F1 circuit) -Porsche Pavilion Wolfsburg-"Openbaar Vervoer Terminal Arnhem" (OVT Arnhem), containing: *19 load cases *75 load combinations (SLS and ULS) *Variation study of support stiffness to estimate the variance in occurring stresses *Linear and nonlinear buckling analysis to prove global stability Show less

• Engineer Shipbuilding

  • Jan 2002 - Jan 2004

  To get "into" shipbuilding, I started at the Shipbuilding departement. Here I learned the basics of the constructional design of ships. I worked on general cargo ships mostly, but I also did some work on motor yachts for Amels and the ferry for Ameland.
