Dr.ir. Hayo Hendrikse

Assistant Professor of Ice-Structure Interaction Delft University of Technology

Dr.ir. Hayo Hendrikse is associate professor of ice-structure interaction within the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology. He has over a decade of experience in research on dynamic ice-structure interaction. He completed a PhD on the topic of ice-induced vibrations in 2017, developing a new model for simulation of dynamic ice-structure interaction (‘VANILLA’). In the years that followed that model has been verified by DNV-GL for use in design of offshore wind support structures and has been adopted by multiple industry parties as their tool for ice load calculations. In the wake of this, Hayo has acted as an advisor and consultant on ice loads on multiple Baltic Sea offshore wind projects for both OWTs and substation design. He currently leads the SHIVER project, a partnership with SGRE and Aalto University, in which ice basin tests dedicated to offshore wind have resulted in unique validation data and a new classification scheme for dynamic ice-structure interaction of OWTs. Further collaborations include the ICEWIND project with WoodThilsted which addresses loads from ice ridges on offshore wind support structures, and the WindySea project with Aalto University in which conical structures in ice are explored, both numerically and experimentally. He is a member of the IAHR committee on Ice Research and Engineering and the Port and Ocean Engineering under Arctic Conditions (POAC) international committee, and has worked on the development of relevant design standards such as ISO 19906.
