Abstract
The paper presents a project aimed at development of an expert system for assessment and management of remaining life of the high temperature high pressurized components of power and process plants (pipework and headers, mainly). The project has been prepared in collaboration with other European partners (industry and research institutions), as a build up of their current activities in the domain of expert system applications in the structural assessment of high temperature components and systems. In that case of MPA Stuttgart, these activities are performed in collaboration with the German utility companies and the within the Interest Club of European Utilities. The background of the project, its objectives and its tasks, leading to the definition of the architecture of the expert system, are described more in detail in the paper.
