Topic: Coupled Fire-structure Simulations for Thin-walled Steel Sandwich Panels: Bolts and Screws, Pyrolysis, and Experimental Verification
Speaker: Prof Herm Hofmeyer, Associate Professor, Dept of Built Environment, Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands
Hèrm Hofmeyer is an Associate Professor in the Dept of Built Environment at Eindhoven Univ. of Technology. He enthusiastically focuses on two types of research. The first, Computational Structural Design, involves the application of Computer Science to building structures and their design process. Unique developments include automated zoning, iterative structural grammars, stabilization, generation of conformal geometries, simulations of co-evolutionary design processes, and structural and topology optimization. Applying the high standards of Applied Mechanics, these developments are verified with additional implementations, genetic algorithms, & case studies from practice. The second type of research is related to the application and further development of the FE method for structural engineering. Using experimental data and theories, dedicated FE models are developed to obtain in-depth knowledge on structural behaviour.
