This paper outlines the main results of an experimental and numerical investigation to assess the mechanical properties of a polyurethane material for potential hydrocarbon offshore plant applications. The experimental campaign, carried out at the Department of Structural Engineering of Polytechnic of Milan, includes monotonic, cyclic and viscous tests on polyurethane material and composite specimens made with steel parts and polyurethane. These experimental tests have been numerically simulated using a classical elastic-plastic constitutive model. Moreover, several numerical simulations on submarine pipes with polyurethane joints have been performed by SASP Offshore Engineering.
