One of his main goals is to develop a simulation laboratory in TalTech&#8217;s Small Craft Competence Centre (SCC),<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe biggest challenge facing shipbuilding is energy efficiency and related changes in design. New structure solutions require the successful integration and synergy of different fields of research. Utilizing new solutions necessitates their thorough validation through tests and simulations.<\/p>\n<p>The SCC materials laboratory and towing tank are the perfect combination for studying new structure solutions. As an extension, I anticipate a simulation laboratory where virtual testing is conducted. Virtual testing is fast; however, reliable simulations also require experimental validation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Professor K\u00f5rgesaar\u2019s research focuses on plastic deformation and ductile fracture of metals. Simply put, he studies possibilities for creating lighter, safer and more energy-efficient hulls. Professor K\u00f5rgesaar successfully defended his doctoral thesis on modelling ductile fracture in ship structures with shell elements at Aalto University in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Ductile fracture of metals is a current research topic in R&amp;D centres around the world as work potentially results in safer, lighter and thus more energy efficient transportation devices. In 2014, Professor K\u00f5rgesaar\u2019s research was noticed by the field\u2019s leading research group in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) who invited K\u00f5rgesaar to be the speaker at their annual seminar, attended by the world\u2019s largest automotive and aircraft manufacturers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech) has appointed Mihkel K\u00f5rgesaar as Professor in Naval Architecture at Estonian Maritime Academy Centre for the Blue Economy.
