Role in COCOLIH2T
Within COCOLIH2T, TU Delft will conduct safety, fatigue, and life cycle analyses of the developed tank designs. These will enable the COCOLIH2T consortium to understand the impact of design choices made during the project and explore the advantages and disadvantages of different options that could be pursued in future designs. The outcomes of these analyses will contribute to the roadmap for further development and accelerate reaching operational hydrogen storage tanks for aircraft.
Participating members in the project
John-Alan Pascoe
Assistant Professor
John-Alan Pascoe is Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials. His current research focusses on certification of the novel structures and materials needed for the energy transition in aerospace, as well as understanding their fatigue and damage tolerance behaviour. In the COCOLIH2T project he is responsible for the fatigue analysis of the tank design.
Roger Groves
Associate Professor
Roger Groves is Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at TU Delft. His research is in developing NDT/SHM sensing technologies and decision-making algorithms for smart and efficient composite manufacturing and for aircraft maintenance. In the COCOLIH2T project he is responsible for developing NDT inspection technologies for composite hydrogen tanks.
Daniël Peeters
Assistant Professor
Daniël Peeters works as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials. His research interest is in modelling and optimizing composite structures, taking manufacturing constraints into account. In a previous position he worked on the design, manufacture and testing of an in-situ consolidated, variable stiffness, thermoplastic wingbox manufacturing using laser-assisted automated fibre placement. In the COCOLIH2T project he is working on the life cycle impact of the manufacturing processes.
Julien van Campen
Assistant Professor
Julien van Campen is an Assistant Professor at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Julien researches the efficient and certifiable design of composite pressure vessels for hydrogen storage in aviation. Next to that he strives to increase the range of application of variable stiffness composite structures by creating design methodologies that allow for low-cost manufacturing and better certifiable designs. In the COCOLIH2T project he is working on the life cycle analysis of the tank design.
Alexei Sharpanskykh
Assistant Professor
Alexei received his PhD degree in the area of artificial intelligence from VU University Amsterdam. After that, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the areas of Complex Adaptive Systems and artificial intelligence at the same university. During his PhD and postdoc years, he was involved in diverse air transport-related projects, in particular under SESAR and KNAW funding, in collaboration with EUROCONTROL and NLR. Since 2013, he has been working as an Assistant Professor in air transport at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft. In COCOLIH2T, Alexei is responsible for the safety analysis of the tank design.
