- Recently, the tragic accident involving the implosion of the OceanGate Titan submersible, made of titanium and carbon fiber, was reported. Discuss the mechanical behavior of the materials used in the Titan design, the possible failures associated with these materials under service conditions, and based on the lesson, discuss the alternatives for preventing this type of failure, which accounts for approximately 90% of failures that occur in metals.
