A new methodology for the study of FAC phenomenon based on a fuzzy rule system

摘要

This work consists of the representation of the corrosion problem, FAC―"Flow-Accelerated Corrosion" in components, structures and passive systems in a nuclear power plant with aging, through a fuzzy rules system, in substitution to the conventional modeling and experimental analyses. Using data characteristic of the nature of the problem to be analyzed, a reduced number of rules can be establish to represent the actual problem. The results can be visualized in a very satisfactory way thus providing the engineer with the knowledge to work in the space of solution of rules to do the necessary inferences.
