When pipelines are laid, especially when the pipeline is lowered to the seabed, the pipe wall is subjected to a change of tensile and compressive stress. In laboratory tests, this must be reproduced in such a way that the limits of plastic deformation can be checked.
Task
Development of new, adapted methods of materials testing
Goal
Design of reliable and reproducible experiments
Path
Think tank and testing for the jointly defined tasks to fulfil the objectives. Systematisation for comprehensible use and for the establishment of applicable test specifications
