This course is for students studying MSc Subsea Engineering. The aim is to provide knowledge of materials engineering and selection, and failure and degradation issues in a subsea environment, including life cycle analysis; to provide knowledge for understanding and applying the relevant design standards and selection guidelines; and to provide a detailed understanding related to fault finding and integrity management. Fundamental studies are combined with industry applications.
· Principles of materials selection
· Materials and component qualification: design standards and testing/acceptance regimes
· Degradation processes – corrosion, erosion, stress corrosion
· Failure processes – fracture and fatigue
· Inspection techniques
· Integrity management procedures

This course provides a detailed understanding of design considerations for components to be used in subsea environments, especially in terms of materials selection, qualification, standards and testing. Reasons for failure and the application of failure analysis in design will be studied.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
1st attempt: 80% examination and 20% continuous assessment.
Resit: The re-sit will comprise of re-doing the failed
element/s (exam and/or coursework assessment/s) from the 1st attempt
with a maximum CGS mark of D3. The marks for other elements (successfully
passed) will be carried over. Resit mark of either RP or RF will be recorded.
There are no assessments for this course.
