Course aims
The objective of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework for ensuring the structural integrity and safe operational life of nuclear pressure components. The study focuses on deepening knowledge in the analytical and numerical modeling of stress in thin-walled and thick-walled structures, while emphasizing the physical nature of degradation mechanisms such as material fatigue, creep, and brittle fracture processes within the nuclear environment. Graduates will acquire engineering skills for quantifying the residual life of components, applying linear and non-linear fracture mechanics to defect assessment, and performing strength calculations for critical welded or bolted joints. This entire technical foundation is set within the framework of regulatory safety, where students learn to work with international standards, particularly ASME codes, and use them to define and evaluate limit states of structures with regard to the uncompromising requirements for the safety and reliability of nuclear facilities.
