Description

Principle Power Inc is looking for a Structural Engineer (marine/hull structural engineering) to join its team and help design the next generation of its floating platforms for wind turbines: the WindFloat. The candidate will be part of PPI's team of structural engineers, and will work toward commercialization of the WindFloat. The structural group splits its focus between current designs, for specific site conditions, and R&D to optimize the performance, fabrication and ultimately the cost of the WindFloats in future projects. Design tasks for current projects includes preliminary sizing of steel structures, strength, buckling and fatigue analysis and detailing of the structures. During design, engineers interface with designers to produce packages of drawings for certification and fabrication. Structural engineers follow closely the fabrication planning and execution phases to provide support as necessary.

Kenichi Soga and team install sensors at London's V&A museum

Kenichi Soga, Chancellor's Professor in CEE, and the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) at Cambridge University placed fiber-optic cables that will serve as permanent sensors on the underground structure built at London's Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A).

By taking regular readings from the cables, the researchers will have a case study that will help validate the nonlinear elastoplastic finite element analysis that was used as a predictive tool on the project.
