PROBLEMS OF DESIGN AND SERVICE OF MACHINERY AND STRUCTURES FOR POLAR REGIONS

Problems of design and service of machinery and structure under cold climate conditions are considered. An analysis of failures of machinery parts and structure elements used at low temperatures is presented. New criteria to assess the behaviour of materials (including polymers) under those conditions are suggested together with the ways enabling the machinery and structure serviceability to be improved. Special attention is paid to the problems of low-alloy steel weldability and ageing of polymer materials.
