The course aims to provide the fundamentals of the science and technology of materials for learning the characteristics of building and maintenance of the ships' facilities and structures. The focus is on the production methods, chemical-physical characteristics, technological properties and risks associated with the use of materials employed in naval engineering. The issues related to the interpretation of the manuals and the assessment and consequent risk reduction will be addressed within acceptable levels. Specific DPIs and DPCs will be analyzed, with particular reference to cost-benefit analysis.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Understanding of the basic concepts of the main families of materials used in naval engineering and their properties, with particular regard to the chemical-physical, structural and safety aspects.
APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
Being able to use the concepts related to the materials used in construction, maintenance and repair of on-board systems, with particular reference to the risks associated with the processes of processing and maintenance (welding, milling, etc.).
MAKING JUDGEMENTS:
Ability to independently assess the main sources of danger, depending on the type of material used, and apply the necessary corrective actions, where required.
COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS
Ability to interpret the main danger signals present on board and in the material safety data sheets, in order to guarantee the safety of the ship and of the crew.
LEARNING SKILLS
Communicate with competence information, ideas, problems and solutions; be able to apply the acquired knowledge to different contexts from those presented during the course, and to deepen the topics discussed with reference to materials and safety.
