This event will give an overview of fracture mechanics methods that can be utilised for design and fitness for service of steel pipelines.
The speaker, Dr Yuri Tkach, will present on the topic. Yuri is a technical specialist with over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. Specializing in fracture integrity and fitness-for-service assessment, he is involved in projects from pre-FEED/FEED to detail design, construction, and commissioning. Yuri joined Wood in 2011 where he has been responsible since then for provision of services and expertise in the areas of fracture integrity and fitness-for-service assessment of structural components containing defects.
Yuri has served as principal engineer/investigator on programs to determine material characteristics under different loading conditions including fatigue performance and fracture resistance of pipeline materials subject to hydrogen embrittlement.
Yuri is passionate about decarbonisation and energy transition and he has been involved in numerous CO2 and hydrogen projects all over the world. He has gained expert knowledge and experience in ductile fracture propagation analysis as well as in development and implementation of fracture control plans for pipelines (including carbon dioxide and hydrogen pipelines).
Yuri also works on the BSI Technical Committee WEE/37 responsible for BS 7910 “Guide to methods for assessing the acceptability of flaws in metallic structures” being a member of Technical Panels on fracture, fatigue and materials properties. He is also chairing Technical Panel on strain based integrity assessment under umbrella of WEE/37.
This event is being organised by the North Scottish branch of the Welding Institute and is open to all interested parties.
