Abstract
Characteristic peculiarities of welded joints in durable critical structures requiring certain approaches to estimation of specified service life, residual safe life in particular, are considered. The possibility of using modern fracture mechanics approaches combined with rapidly developing risk analysis methods is examined.
Keywords: residual life, monitoring of actual load, diag¬nostics of state, hot spots, residual stresses, fracture estimation diagram, probability approaches, calculation support, risk analysis
