Abstract

Assessing the integrity of a structure involves demonstrating its ability to perform its mechanical functions under all normal or accidental stresses throughout its service life. In the gas safety sector, for major installations such as tanks or primary circuits, deterioration can be identified in several areas, such as cracks caused during the welding process. The aim is therefore to prove the mechanical strength of the structure in the event of this type of failure. We also aim to modify the strength of a structure when a crack is present and anomalies have been identified during an inspection. In this context, fracture mechanics theory provides the necessary tools to study cracked elements. The objective is to establish a fracture criterion that will make it possible to determine in advance the stress margins in normal or accident situations during operation. It is necessary to specifically characterise each type of fracture.
