INTERNSHIPINTERN
We offer you an Ocean of Possibilities. Join our family. About us Hop aboard Damen Naval; the naval division of the family-owned Damen Shipyards Group, where 12,000 professionals work worldwide. Damen Naval delivers advanced naval vessels to clients all over the globe. By implementing the most innovative technological developments in practice, we continue to push the boundaries of the shipbuilding industry. You can be part of our team! Are you ready for duty? The role Damen Naval has the ambition to develop a methodology for Hull Condition Monitoring that incorporates the use of the ship’s digital twin, a virtual model prepared during the design stage. Combined with wave and sensor monitoring, it vastly enhances the value of predictive and preventive maintenance. Next to predictive maintenance Structural Hull Monitoring (SHM) systems allow verification and optimization of design tools related to hydrodynamic loading and structural resistance. Damen Naval is continuously improving its products and developing the next generation of Structural Hull Monitoring methodologies is a key part of those developments. Research in this field is ongoing to make these developments happen and determine how next generation of naval vessels will be equipped with such systems. In addition, supporting research is needed to provide tools and methods to further optimized the design of these systems. Various graduate research or internship projects are available related to this topic, all projects are supported by subject matter experts within the company. Some possible subjects are: Design and integration of Hull Monitoring Systems (System Architecture). Creating tools for post-processing the Structural Hull Monitoring data (Data Assimilation). Predicting sea state parameters via Hull Monitoring Systems. Coupling of SHM-systems with structural FE-models to predict the remaining fatigue lifetime. Benchmark in-house load prediction tooling’s on a deterministic and or probabilistic way. Comparison of fatigue prediction methods from industry standards versus SHM-system fatigue predictions. A combination of different subjects is part of the possibilities. Damen Naval can provide readily available assignments, but it is also possible to propose your own specific topic of interest.
