Melnikov Proba

Melnikov's test is a method for determining the rate of occurrence of thermal deformations in metal structures and materials under the influence of high temperatures, developed by A.V. Melnikov. This method is used to assess the strength and reliability of metal structures during the technical inspection of buildings and structures and helps to avoid possible emergency situations.

The essence of the method is to determine the acceleration of deformation of a structure over time at a fixed ambient temperature. In this case, the structure remains in the same position and is vertical. Data analysis is obtained from measurements of strain accelerations over time.

Melnikov's test is one of the most common methods for determining the resistance of structures to the effects of
