Composites for the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry, Design and Application (Innbundet (stive permer))

Materials technology has a significant role to play in the continuing drive to reduce both the capital and operational costs of offshore installations. In particular, the progressive advances in the understanding of composite materials is particularly important in the harsh environment of the offshore oil and gas industry. This text presents a collection of papers from an IMechE seminar on the subject.

Design of structural composites; composite materials for offshore stuctured rehabilitation; fire behaviour of structural composites; application of polymer composites within the oil industry; dielectric and mechanical assessment of water ingress into carbon fibre composite structures; adhesive bonding of composites offshore; dual use technology transfer; collaboration in generic research on failure of composite structures.
