This study presents a novel coupled mechano-electro-chemical formulation for predicting stress corrosion cracking (SCC) phenomena in steel structures using the phase field method. SCC is a complex damage process that arises from the…
We present a new theoretical and numerical framework for modelling mechanically-assisted corrosion in elastic-plastic solids. Both pitting and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can be captured, as well as the pit-to-crack transition.…
A new model is presented to predict hydrogen-assisted fatigue. The model combines a phase field description of fracture and fatigue, stress-assisted hydrogen diffusion, and a toughness degradation formulation with cyclic and hydrogen…
We present a phase field-based electro-chemo-mechanical formulation for modelling mechanics-enhanced corrosion and hydrogen-assisted cracking in elastic-plastic solids. A multi-phase-field approach is used to present, for the first time, a…
Environmentally assisted cracking phenomena are widespread across the transport, defence, energy and construction sectors. However, predicting environmentally assisted fractures is a highly cross-disciplinary endeavour that requires…
Crack growth in stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in 7xxx Al alloys is an intermittent process, which generates successive crack arrest markings (CAMs) visible on the fracture surface. It is conjectured that H is generated at the crack tip…
Finite element analysis of stress about a blunt crack tip, emphasizing finite strain and phenomenological and mechanism-based strain gradient plasticity (SGP) formulations, is integrated with electrochemical assessment of occluded-crack tip…
Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) affects all major high-strength structural materials and as such is a major impediment to lightweighting e.g. vehicles and help reduce carbon-emissions and reach net-zero. The high-strength 7xxx series aluminium…
High strength 7xxx Al-alloys are currently commonly used in aerospace and are expected to be increasingly employed in the automotive sector for weight reduction purposes. These alloys can however be sensitive to stress-corrosion cracking…
We present a phase field modeling framework for hydrogen assisted cracking. The model builds upon a coupled mechanical and hydrogen diffusion response, driven by chemical potential gradients, and a hydrogen-dependent fracture energy…
The damage mechanisms and load redistribution of high strength TC17 titanium alloy/unidirectional SiC fibre composite (fibre diameter = 100 $\mu$m) under high temperature (350 {\deg}C) fatigue cycling have been investigated in situ using…
Hydrogen threatens the structural integrity of metals and thus predicting hydrogen-material interactions is key to unlocking the role of hydrogen in the energy transition. Quantifying the interplay between material deformation and hydrogen…
The phase field fracture method has emerged as a promising computational tool for modelling a variety of problems including, since recently, hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion cracking. In this work, we demonstrate the potential of…
A model for corrosion-induced cracking of reinforced concrete subjected to non-uniform chloride-induced corrosion is presented. The gradual corrosion initiation of the steel surface is investigated by simulating chloride transport…
Irradiation Assisted Stress Corrosion Cracking (IASCC) is a material degradation phenomenon affecting austenitic stainless steels used in nuclear Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR), leading to the initiation and propagation of intergranular…
In this work we propose a stochastic model for estimating the occurrence of crack initiations on the surface of metallic specimens in fatigue problems that can be applied to a general class of geometries. The stochastic model is based on…
The analysis of standardized low cycle fatigue (LCF) experiments shows that the failure times widely scatter. Furthermore, mechanical components often fail before the deterministic failure time is reached. A possibility to overcome these…
A model has been developed which simulates the deformation of single crystal austenitic stainless steels and cap-tures the effects of hydrogen on stress corrosion cracking. The model is based on the crystal plasticity theory which relates…
Predicting potential risks associated with the fatigue of key structural components is crucial in engineering design. However, fatigue often involves entangled complexities of material microstructures and service conditions, making…
We present a new theoretical and numerical phase field-based formulation for predicting hydrogen-assisted fatigue. The coupled deformation-diffusion-damage model presented enables predicting fatigue crack nucleation and growth for arbitrary…
