Gv. Petrov, Reduction in the service life due to an overload test of a metallic structure operated under corrosive conditions, RUSS J NOND, 36(3), 2000, pp. 227-230
The effect of an overloading test on the remaining service life of a metall
ic structure exposed to corrosion is discussed. Conditions of destruction d
uring such tests have been determined. The reduction in the service life as
a result of such tests is quite considerable, bur, if an overloading test
does not lead to destruction, the reduction in the service life is small.
