Papers will be organised under the following three broad themes covering both deterministic & probabilistic methodologies:
1. Integrity and Lifing of Defect-free Components
2. Crack Initiation and Growth
3. Fitness-for-Service, Risk-Based Inspection & Maintenance
Detailed Topics
The above themes are expected to cover the following/ related topics:
• Integrity, life assessment/ extension of defect free components
• Integrity, life assessment/ extension of components containing
defects/ cracks (manufacturing or service induced)
• Crack growth in new higher strength steels (P91, P92, P23 etc.)
• Sensitivity analysis and cracked component behaviour
• Probability and component life prediction
• Design and material selection based on probabilistic creep,
fatigue, and creep-fatigue analysis
• Creep-fatigue interaction in cyclic plant operation
• Probabilistic approach applied to defect assessment
• Numerical techniques and probabilistic assessment
• Risk-Based Inspection and preventive maintenance
• Fitness-for-Service and the new developments
• Applications in various industrial sectors
