heterogeneity" is presented on the base of methodological and philosophical positions. It is proposed to consider information models as a natural tool for describing heterogeneities and operating them in the framework of design and technological informatics. The approach proposed by the authors for studying complex multilevel processes of damage accumulation in structurally inhomogeneous constructions using causal semantic networks and frame descriptions of properties and characteristics of inhomogeneities is described. An example of a generalized scenario model of pressure vessel damage due to structural heterogeneity is given
