The Ultrasonic Peening and Life Extension Concept concept; strenghten the weakest link in the chain, and the chain as a whole will last longer
Ultrasonic Peening is a treatment which is to be applied only on the fatigue hot-pots.
So, the first challange lies in locating the weakest areas in the offshore installation. This is partly done by experience from gathered from other installations and partly from Finite Element Modeling.
Once the fatigue hot-spots have been located the Ultrasonic Peening treatment on these locations can be applied.
By treating the fatigue hot-spots with the LETS Global Ultrasonic Peening Procedure, the fatigue strength of treated areas will be increased fourfold.
Life Extension is not maintenance, nor repair, nor restoration, it is preparing for the future, a repair free future.
Ultrasonic Peening makes offshore installations fit for the future.
