Abstract
We developed a health-monitoring methodology for high-temperature steam pipes that estimated the life prediction of creep–fatigue interaction by directly measuring the displacement of hot parts. Three different methods (boiler code, design stress, and operating stress) were used to estimate the stress of the high-temperature pipe system. As a theoretical approach, the German boiler standard code calculates the stress according to the pipe shape, while design stress, which is also called allowable stress, was determined by a function of the operating temperature. The operating stress was immediately calculated using the surrogate model, with maximum displacement measured using the 3D displacement measurement system. To achieve the surrogate model, the stress was estimated by the pipe-stress analysis under the given displacements, and the surface-response model was developed to relate the stress and displacement. We showed that those methods are efficient methods to predict the stress and are applicable in health-monitoring methodology. Finally, the creep life and the low-cycle fatigue life were investigated using the Larson–Miller parameter equation, as well as the Smith, Hirschberg, and Manson equations. Our proposed monitoring system can be used to predict the fatigue and creep life of high-temperature steam pipes in real time, and we believe that the system can be applied to actual maintenance in thermal power plants.
