For students studying MSc Subsea Engineering. The aim is to provide knowledge of materials engineering & 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 & component qualification: design standards & testing/acceptance regimes
Degradation processes – corrosion, erosion, stress corrosion
Failure processes – fracture & fatigue
Inspection techniques
Integrity management procedures
