The most relevant characteristics of the following elements used in any observation system are described: connectors, wiring, communications, power systems

Dedication

The student will carry out tensile tests on two different materials: an aluminum alloy and a steel. perform hardness tests on different materials. Carry out an impact toughness test mounting situations that can lead to corrosion of materials Mooring design: Matlab and Mooring Design & Dynamics toolkit Performing bathymetries with echo sounder, field activity In this activity students can put into practice all the contents of the subject by designing a marine observation platform and its oral presentation to the class class.a

Specific Objectives

Learn to determine the mechanical properties of a material from a real tensile test. Interpret and analyze the results Know how to determine the most suitable hardness method for each material. Determine the relationship between toughness and mechanical resistance. Know the main phenomena of corrosion Design of a marine observatory taking into account the given design guidelines and the characteristics of the elements that make it up.
