METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DAMAGE TO AN OBJECT, AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF USE OF THE OBJECT
First Claim
1. Method for estimating a life reducing damage to an object which is subject to a load during operation, wherein at least a first parameter which corresponds to an operational state which generates the damage to the object, and at least a second parameter which corresponds to a condition for or around the object that by itself is not able to generate the damage, but which makes the damage generated by the operational state worse, are determined by at least one operation, which is measurement, and wherein such measurement is being carried out repeatedly, wherein a total load which is defined by the total effect on the life of the object by the operational state and the operational condition is calculated in such a way that variations in the damage resistance of the object which the operational condition gives rise to are adjusted for, and in that the total load is expressed as a product of a function for the operational state and a function for the operational condition.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for estimating damage to an object, with at least a first parameter which corresponds to an operational state for the object and at least a second parameter which corresponds to a condition during the operational state being determined by at least one operation measurement, and with such measurement being carried out repeatedly. A total load that is defined by the total influence of the first and second parameters on the life of the object is then calculated. The invention also relates to a method and a system for controlling the use of the object.
