Abstract

The paper presents development of an expert system prototype applied for the leak-before-break analysis at MPA Stuttgart. The expert system prototype developed in the research allows successful introduction and use of standard and/or heuristic engineering knowledge (procedures, code calculations, etc.), of the preceding operational experience and of the testing results and experimental evidence in the leak-before-break analysis of future cases. The system has been developed, applied and verified on the basis of the results of over 50 large scale MPA-tests performed in the recent years.
