Distinguishing regularities and mechanisms of metal operating properties degradation, steel structures (vessels, pipelines and others) operated for a long time based on a non-linear mechanics of scattered damage accumulation
APPLIED RESEARCH
Research of mechanical properties (strength, fracture toughness, formation of cracks) of pipe and boiler steels with a long-term effect (20 years and more) of quasistatic and cyclic elastic stress fields on them
Creation of scientific bases and methods of forecasting reliability and determining of a residual life of main gas-, oil- and industrial pipelines
