This is the discussion blog for the MSc course "Fundamental Safety Engineering and Risk Management Concepts" lectured at the School of Engineering, University of Aberdeen. This course is a core module for the following Postgraduate Taught Programmes:
Re-assessing ageing pipeline infrastructure to ensure safety, integrity and reliability
DISCUSSION THEMES
- Assessing the potential of ageing infrastructure to provide the same level of service as newly constructed facilities
- Identifying the key threats to the integrity of a pipeline in later life
- New solutions for old pipelines: revealing how new technologies can
help ensure reliability of older infrastructure and assessing the
future outlook for mature pipes - Taking the necessary steps to make sure that older pipelines are operated within regulatory requirements
Journal Club October 2010: Mechanical behaviour of highly packed particulate composites
Materials such as sedimentary rocks, pharmaceutical tablets, plastic bonded explosives, biscuits, concretes, nacre, solid propellants, seashells and asphalts can be treated as particulate composites that consist of particles of high volume fraction, matrixes of thin layer and interfaces of high specific surface area. Mechanical behaviour of highly packed particulate composites is the theme of this issue of Journal Club forum.
