What you can find here

Welcome to my personal page. Here you will find all stuff that I produce in my carrer as engineer and also in my personal life, like texts, videos and anything else. Follow the links and enjoy. I have created this site not only to share my professional experience. In the last years I have been producing content and I think this can be useful for someone. Also, sometimes I have ideas and would like to share with people outside from confusing social network. I really want people to find those ideas and I would like to talk about it. This is not made for human resources or headhunters, although they can make use of it if they want.

Professional Experience

Dates Company What I have learned in few words.
2003 Amerincan Bureau of Shipping - Group I have worked as naval architect for the GIEN team in ABS Group Rio de Janeiro. I was initiated in Structural engineering, learning good reasoning, concepts and also to perform analysis in Finite Element softwares like FEMAP/Nastran. I had great teaches during this time and performed my first works on board of offshore platforms.
2006 Projemar S.A. In Projemar I had the first contact with real engineering design. I was hired for the structural engineering team form for the global analysis of the FPSO P53 based on BV rules. I have performed also lifting analysis. This time I have learned to perform detailed drawing verification.
2008 Intec Worley Parsons I have moved for subesea engineering in the Intec company, which was part of the Hereema group. In this company I had the first contact with dynamic analysis in Orcaflex and strucutral analysis in Ansys Workbench. The project was focused on installation desing of pipelines.
2010 Chemtec During the time in Chemtech I have participated in a temporary contract for the selection of the new LNG terminal for Petrobras especially involved in criteria related to maneuverability of LNG carriers.
2011 Technip Structural analysis, installation of subsea equipments and designing equipments for installation vessels.
2012 GDK I have learned how to install the pipeline but this time I could touch the pipeline and see it entering the water for lowering and also about make a mistake and correct it.
2014 Projemar S.A. (again?) This time I have lerned to desing a mooring balcony for a FPSO from scratch and also other relevant equipments.
2015 Unemployed After leaving Projemar, as Cessao Onerosa project was ended, I have become unenmployed for some months. This was the result of socialism in Brazil...
2015 Ledav During 2015 I have started the doctorate and was invited to work in the Laboratório de Análise de Vibração, with focus on ocean renewable energy concepts.
2018 Amazul - Brazilian Navy I have proudly worked for brazilian navy in São Paulo and learned to manage contracts to build a Fuel Element Pool of a nuclear plant.
2019 Waves and Currents Laboratory (University) I was back to Rio to finish the doctorate and I am still learning what is a hydrodynamic coefficient and how it impacts in the lowering of huge subsea equipments. It is really cool but not real life yet.

This was the presentation for my first article submited to a journal. Here you find the references. Presentation to Ledav in 07/01/2020 - find the references for my article.

Calculate the lateral displacement of a lifted object subject to current according with DNV-RP-H103 python file

Heat transference, desalination and cool stuff

Kern method, very soon.


Latim

I have just started to learn latim. I'm going to share exercises from Napoleão Mendes de Almeida and other stuff. If you find anything wrong please let me know. Thanks. It is in portuguese.
