Software Complex'Strength' of the Decision Support System For Strength Accompaniment of Structures Saff Operation

摘要

Software complex (SC) "STRENGTH" of the decision support system (DSS) has been developed for strength accompaniment of safe operation of pressure vessels, pipelines and storage tanks during their life cycle (beginning with engineering designing and ending with taking a decisio to remove them from service), including the cases when defects of different origin are detected. Basic principles of the DSS SC 'STRENGTH" functioning afford structural stenght assessment and life prediction for a defect-free or defected structural element taking into account the diversity of service conditions. Strength accompaniment of the object of the diagneostics has been oriented to multilevel representation of the life cycle of the defect growth (defect history) from its nucleation to the consequences assessment of possible failure caused by the propagation of this defect.
