Numerical approach for reliability based inspection periods (RBIP) of fluid pipes

The welded joints are often dimensioned over one given lifetime while following an approach of the type S-N on the basis of acceptable probability of failure which should not be exceeded over the base period. The cracks induced by the welding process can be propagated and become critical during the...
