Fitness for Service (FFS) in Asset Integrity
The Role of Fitness-for-Service (FFS) in Asset Integrity Fitness-for-Service (FFS) analysis is a structured engineering approach to determine if equipment with flaws or damage can continue to operate safely and reliably. It is a crucial part of asset integrity management, especially in high-risk sectors like oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing. Over an asset’s […]
Creep Strain vs Stress Relaxation, A practical guide for CAE users
Description Learn what creep is, how temperature and stress control creep life, and which creep models CAE tools (ANSYS, COMSOL, Abaqus and others) use. Simple equations, practical CAE workflows, ASME / code context, and industrial project examples (boilers, pressure vessels, turbines, heat exchangers). What is creep? Creep is permanent deformation that accumulates over time when […]
