Università Roma Tre

The aim of the course is to provide in-depth knowledge on the main materials used in offshore applications (e.g. platforms, wind turbines, subsea pipelines, ...), characterized by extreme environments due to the combination of chemical, mechanical and thermal stresses. Technologies for improving the performance of materials by modifying the internal microstructure or for surface engineering will be illustrated, as well as methods for advanced characterization of monitoring performance / properties. At the same time, an overview of structural health monitoring systems and related smart materials will be provided.
