| Issues, methods and a procedure are investigated to validate strength and fatigue life of structural elements of nuclear power plant equipment and systems, based on damaged media mechanics (DMM). DMM basic equations and algorithms of their integration have been formulated in order to analyze non-isothermal elastic-plastic deformation and damage accumulation processes in structural materials of equipment and systems during thermomechanical loadings and in order to assess their exhausted and residual fatigue life. |
