Abstract

The paper deals with the current state of the art arising in the design of the structures, operating under traditional mechanical loading in the aggressive environment causing their corrosion. The express goal in this case is establishing the corrosion rate dependence on the stress state of the structure and considering its durability. Thus, the use of basic mathematical models that describe the effect of corrosion rate depending on the stress state of the structure is considered. The main objective of this paper is to provide a review of useful approximations that have been suggested to deal with interaction of stress and corrosion fields. The first model that considers such a relationship is the Dolinsky model, which uses a linear dependence of the stress effect on the corrosion rate. Additionally, the Gutman model, in which the dependence of the corrosion rate on stress is expressed by an exponential law, is considered. When constructing mathematical models of structures’ corrosion wear, it is also necessary to take into account the protective coatings operation and determine the incubation period duration, which is the durability of the applied protective coatings. In this regard, the use of one of these models, which takes into account the decrease in the polymer coatings’ protective properties and a combined approach to accounting for corrosion and the anti-corrosion coatings’ protective properties are presented. Determining their reliability is an equally important aspect in the design of structures subject to corrosion. Therefore, the main theories of reliability and their practical application were considered on specific examples. A characteristic feature of the work is the coverage of issues related to the optimal design of structures operating in corrosion conditions. Two classes of problems were studied. First, determining the optimal form of structures under various types of mechanical loading and the use of the above corrosion models is considered. In the second class, the use of promising optimization models related to the solution of multi-criteria problems (using the fuzzy sets theory), as well as models with a pronounced economic bias, which allow making a cost estimate of structures failure-free operation during their lifetime, is considered. This article's novelty consists of preparing a comprehensive review of the interaction of stress and corrosion conditions. Researchers are deemed to greatly benefit from knowing the existing literature along with their strengths and weaknesses.
