RESILIENT SHIP
DESIGN COURSE
AGAINST UNDER WATER AND ABOVE WATER THREATS
10-13 FEBRUARY
2015 CANBERRA,
AUSTRALIA
TNO has developed a combined
programme for their leading
courses on resilient design against
underwater and above water
threats. Four days of in depth and
valuable theory will be combined
with videos and examples of
implementation from industry.
FOR WHOM?
The course is aimed at
−− Navy personnel
−− Survivability experts
−− Designers of naval vessels
−− Naval ship manufacturing industry
−− Managers of new naval projects
−− Project engineers who make specifications of naval equipment and installations
−− Engineers who monitor naval building or
upgrade projects
−− Those responsible for technical
procurement
−− Classification society
PURPOSE OF THE COURSE
The main purpose of the course is to learn
the basics of designing against modern
above water and underwater threats in a
cost and mass effective way. The course is
specifically focused on early design stages
in which crucial decisions have to be made
within short periods of time. Participants
will learn the principles of ship survivability,
so that they are able to design themselves,
to communicate with specialists or to judge
an underwater shock problem or above
water threat. The knowledge can also be
applied to upgrade ships for new threats.

André van Erkel
Team leader Ship protection and survivability of maritime platforms TNO. Expert in
ship vulnerability. Involved in this area for
30 years and focused on: structural
modelling, blast modelling, explosive
testing of full scale ships, radar protection,
metal failure modelling with universities
and successfully developed and patented
blast resistant bulkheads and doors.
COURSE LEVEL AND LANGUAGE
The required level of education for both
courses is a Higher National Certificate in
engineering or a University degree in
Engineering. A basic understanding of
mechanics and/or mechanical vibrations is
recommended. The course language will be
English.
DATES AND VENUE
The Resilient Ship Design Course will take
place 10-13 February 2015 in Canberra,
Australia. Venue to be determined.
