In-Time Failure Prognosis and Fatigue Life Prediction of Structures

  • Chapter
Real Time Fault Monitoring of Industrial Processes

  • 336 Accesses

Abstract

The in-time failure prognosis and safety assessment of today’s high risk industrial structures implies the accurate estimation of the residual lifetime of the structure in the course of its service. Reduction of the operation cost, estimation of the structural aging, structure life extension, prevention of catastrophic accidents, environmental protection, are some of the aspects that have to be considered in the management of complex high risk industrial systems as nuclear power plants, chemical plants, off-shore structures, marine structures, gas (LNG, LPG) installations etc.
