During these sessions, you will gain insight into:
- Material properties (strength, ductility, hardness, and toughness) - Fracture mechanics: history, key parameters, methods, and published good practices - Stress analysis (internal pressure and external loading) - Pipeline failure causes (with a focus on external interference, corrosion, materials defects, fatigue, ground movement, theft) - Modes of failure (including ductile, brittle, overload, and fatigue) - Case studies in pipeline failures - Corrosion assessment, crack assessment, mechanical damage assessment - Crack management in pipelines
