from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pieter Anne Vermeer (born July 25, 1944 in Leeuwarden ) is a Dutch geotechnician and now professor emeritus at the University of Stuttgart .

Life

Vermeer studied civil engineering at the TU Delft with a diploma in 1972. He then worked for several years in drinking water extraction and turned his interests to research in soil mechanics and foundation engineering. In 1980 he received his doctorate from the TU Delft under Arnold Verruijt (Formulation and Analysis of Sand deformation problems). From 1986 he was a lecturer at the TU Delft. In 1988 he was visiting professor at the University of Minnesota and in 1989 at the Institute of Mechanics (INPG) in Grenoble . In 1994 he succeeded Ulrich Smoltczyk as professor at the University of Stuttgart and remained so until 2009.

He is particularly concerned with the laws of matter and numerical modeling ( finite elements ) in geotechnical engineering with applications such as tunnels, deep excavations and dam construction. From 1989 he was head of the development of the geotechnical commercial computer program Plaxis at the TU Delft .
