Robust limit load determination using variational principles in plasticity
FY 2010-11
Summary
Design and ""fitness-for-service"" evaluations are of significance to industrial production facilities, as they can be used to ensure safety of personnel,enhanced production and economical operation.
The proposed research develops a new generation of methods for the assessment of potential failures that can sometimes have serious consequences. The outcome of the investigation will be of benefit to design engineers and industrial plant personnel.
The impact of the research will be in terms of improved safety, reliabiltiy and productivity of industrial facilities. It is expected that the methods developed would be used by engineering consultants, researchers, plant engineering personnel, and codes and standards organizations.
The proposed research focuses on a new generation of robust methods of analysis suitable for design and integrity evaluation of industrial pressurized systems and components that are relevant to the oil and gas, petrochemical, and fossil and nuclear power generation sectors.
The benefits to Canada would manifest as a safer industrial work environment, and a more competitive engineered product.
