Design analysis of subsea pipeline, pipeline stress analysis, stress-based
design, strain-based design, thermal expansion, lateral buckling of pipes,
hydrodynamic forces, wave and current loads on subsea pipes, vortex-induced
vibrations, wall thickness determination, external pressure, internal pressure,
bending moment, pipeline span, on-bottom stability analysis. Riser system.
Material and mechanical properties for subsea pipes. Pipeline installation and
laying methods. Friction loss, temperature drop. Corrosion prevention and CP
design. Subsea survey and positioning, route optimization. Welding of
subsea-pipes. Pipeline Inspection and maintenance. Failure modes, fatigue and
fracture analysis for pipelines.
