Purpose of the project: Development of an innovative methodology for highly accurate prediction of structural and phase changes in a part and failures of highly loaded equipment.

Expected results: Improved quality of forecasting failures, process control, reduced likelihood of man-made disasters. Creation of an innovative methodology for ultra-precise forecasting.

Description of the project: The idea of ​​the project is to study the concentration of internal stresses in the structure of dynamically loaded parts of turbines at the stage of pre-fracture, increasing the reliability and efficiency of their operation by ultra-precise forecasting. The technical solutions developed in the project will make it possible to predict with high accuracy the moment of pre-destruction and failure of highly loaded equipment, excluding man-made disasters at industrial enterprises in Kazakhstan. The synthesis of technical equipment and probabilistic methods will create a complete autonomous system for predicting defects at the structural level of a part without dismantling it, with the development of an intelligent control system and decision-making. An ultra-precise forecast will make it possible to adapt the optimal operating parameters and monitor the operation of the turbine. To conquer the market with a domestic information database that performs highly accurate forecasting.

Project objectives:

−application of proven methods and technologies for the development of metrological support and technological support for high-precision forecasting of failures of highly loaded equipment;

−analytical methods, methods of simulation modeling, development of normative and technical documentation for metrological support;

−use of non-destructive testing methods and integrated assessment of fatigue processes in the material of steam turbine blades at TPS.
