    Analysis of Damage Mechanisms in Composite Risers and Umbilicals at Aberdeen University On

    Uploaded by

    Ozden Isbilir
    This PhD project involves analyzing damage mechanisms in composite risers and umbilicals used in deep water oil and gas infrastructure. The goal is to develop analytical and numerical models to accurately simulate crack and delamination initiation and propagation in composite materials. The models will be used to analyze how damage impacts structure strength and stiffness. Candidates require an engineering or materials degree, background in materials and stress analysis, and computing skills for finite element modeling. Funding must be self-sourced as no funding is attached to the project.

    About the Project


    With increasing water depth, especially in excess of 1000 m, both platform designs
    and the design of the risers and umbilicals begin to become highly weight-sensitive.
    The weight reduction can be achieved through the introduction of composite risers
    and umbilicals. There are signi cant opportunities for the use of carbon bre
    composite elements, which may be either thermoplastic or thermoset-based, in the
    armour for weight-saving, and because of corrosion problems with steel. However,
    one of the main concerns with layered composite structures is the development and
    propagation of various forms of intra- and inter-laminar damages in the form of
    cracking and delaminations.

    The overall aim of the project is optimal design of materials used in composite risers
    and umbilicals. The developed analytical and numerical models shall be able to
    accurately capture initiation and propagation of cracks and delaminations because it
    is crucial for damage-tolerant composite structures. Multiparametric numerical
    analysis of the damage propagation and its in uence on the strength and stiffness
    of the structure will be done during the project.

    Candidates should have (or expect to achieve) the UK honours degree at 2.1 or
    above (or equivalent) in Engineering, Materials or Applied Mathematics. It is
    essential that the applicant has a background in Fundamentals of Engineering
    Materials and Stress Analysis
    Numerical Methods.

    The project is likely to involve a combination of analytical studies and computer


    modelling including FEM&BEM analysis and MatLab programming, so the
    appropriate computing skills would be quite bene cial but not compulsory.
