Teaching activities:
- Mechanics of materials (Stijfheid en Sterkte 1).
- Numerical methods in mechanical engineering.
- FEM for designers (Post graduate course PATO).
- Nonlinear Material Mechanics (Post graduate course EM).
- Mechanics of Large Deformations (Post graduate course EM).
Research activities:
- Numerical simulation of forming processes
e.g. deepdrawing, incremental sheet forming, extrusion, rolling, cutting.
- Numerical modelling of biomaterials.
- Stability of plastic deformation and stability of material models in FEM
analysis (including mesh dependency, localization and convergence).
- Optimization and robustness in forming processes.
- Object Oriented Programming (finite
element programs, mesh generation programs). The C++ framework FeaTure for Finite Element programming and a
collection of C++ tensor classes are freely
available.

Favorites:
A good starting point for FEM information on
internet is the Internet
Finite Element resources site by Roger Young and Ian MacPhedran. It contains links to many commercial and
non-commercial FEM vendors, freeware and shareware FEM analysis
programs, mesh generators and post-processing programs.
