Structural integrity assessment procedures for European industry

Exploitable results

The SINTAP project, part-funded by the European Union under the Brite-Euram scheme, commenced in April 1996 and was completed in April 1999. It has involved a consortium of seventeen organizations from nine European countries with the aim of the project being to derive a unified structural integrity evaluation method for use by European industry. Although many such methods did and do exist, most have conflicting approaches, unspecified levels of empiricism or do not fully reflect the performance of modem materials or the current state of knowledge. The SINTAP project covered both modelling and experimental work, and a large element of the project was concerned with the transfer of knowledge and data between industries and scientific organizations together with it's compilation and interpretation to provide the required solutions. The culmination of this work is a procedure which is applicable to a wide cross-section of users because of its ability to offer routes of varying complexity, reflecting data quality and the scope for a final interpretation reflecting the preference of the user.
