COMPUTER SEARCHING FOR OPTIMUM COMPOSITIONS OF RADIATION-RESISTANT ALLOYS

The method for computer searching for the optimum composition of radia tion-resistant metallic alloys for atomic power engineering is propose d. The basic models accounting for variations in the properties of irr adiated materials are considered. The most promising for designing the ''composition-property'' models is the use of mathematical methods en abling one to obtain a compromise solution. To these methods belong, i n particular, the models based on desirability and objective functions , representation functions, and on the methods of vector optimization. The mathematical schemes are chosen for minimization of the generaliz ed criterion of vector optimization, with particular constraints impos ed on the properties of a radiation-resistant material.
