Honorary Research Director of the National Fund for Scientific Research of Belgium.
From October 1, 2003 to 30 Sept 2008
Research Director, National Fund for Scientific Research (N.F.S.R.) of Belgium,
From October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2008:
Associate Professor, University of Liège
DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF SHIP STRUCTURES & HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES:
- Design and analysis of naval and floating structures (strength and stress analysis).
- Optimization of naval structures based on the manufacturing costs (LBR-5 Software).
Developer of the L.B.R.-5 software dedicated for the stress analysis of orthotropic steel structures. Data preprocessing and graphical post processing were developed to ease its use (hydraulic and naval structures).
- Virtual simulation of Ship Production (workshops) & Design for Production
- Ultimate strength of the stiffened plates and hull girders (ISSC committee members since 1991)
- Strength analysis of ship structures
- Design of hydraulic structures : storm surge and flood protection barriers, navigation lock, mobile weirs, sluices, floating bridges, etc.
- Design and strength analysis of aluminum structures, lock gates, prefabricated lock walls, naval architecture, ...
- High rise navigation lock designed with saving basins (general design, locking, ..).
- Study of the prefabrication of locks and mobile weirs (using prefabrication concepts)
- Concepts of lock for pleasure navigation (including innovative tilting gate), filling and emptying operations, automatic process,
- Experiments on naval and offshore structures, model scale in wave flumes with regular and random wave generation:
model test of floatover installations (jacket at model scale 1/20),
study of large submarine offshore structures (pipes), ...
seakeeping tests (measurement of the 6 components of a motion),
- Development of data acquisition system for laboratory experiments (strain gauges, 3D motions, wave gauges, displacement sensors, accelerometers, ...)
- River flow, water lines, weir discharges, piping, flood control, etc..
- Inland waterway design, length, effective cross section, water head, ...
- Study on scale model of reservoir dams, spillways, dissipation basins, galleries and sluices.
- Sedimentation in river modeling, model of silt transportation by using plastic particles (scale model).
- Feasibility study of earth dam, stability, spillway, emptying device, etc.
- River Navigation Dams (weirs) and flood control (Structural and hydraulic design, development of new design, ...)
- Transport Systems Analysis, Transport Modeling, Cost/Benefit Analysis.
- River Engineering (improvement of the navigation, river bank and bed protection, sediment transportation, environmental impact of works, ...)
