Service-life analysis of nuclear reactor elements under high-frequency random loading
Service life extension for working equipment and nominal service life extension (to 60 or more years) for nuclear reactors under construction make it even more urgent to evaluate the effect of the high-frequen...

Diagram of fatigue limit states with high asymmetry
Hardening of structural elements and plasticity loss are observed for reactor elements which operate for a long time. In some cases, this results in a change of the asymmetry of multi-cycle loading of structur...

Durability evaluation method for vessel internals of VVER by criterion of initialization of intergranular stress corrosion cracking of irradiated austenitic steels
A physicomechanical model for occurrence of fractures of austenitic steels upon intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) is proposed on the basis of an analysis of experimental data on the susceptibilit...

Fatigue of NPP Components and Pi** under Service Conditions
Empirical equations are proposed for description of fatigue curves (up to 1012 cycles) of steels employed in NPP equipment and pipelines. Parameters of the obtained equations allow one to take into account the lo...
