This paper presents an updated review of the external corrosion and failure mechanisms of
buried natural gas and oil pipelines. Various forms of external corrosion and failure …

Component failures due to the hydrogen embrittlement (HE) were observed in different
industrial systems, including high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks, aircraft components …

Fracture is one of the most commonly encountered failure modes of engineering materials
and structures. Prevention of cracking-induced failure is, therefore, a major concern in …

Electrode particle cracking is one of the main phenomena driving battery capacity
degradation. Recent phase field fracture studies have investigated particle cracking …

We investigate the potential of quasi-Newton methods in facilitating convergence of
monolithic solution schemes for phase field fracture modelling. Several paradigmatic …

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 …

We present a generalised phase field-based formulation for predicting fatigue crack growth
in metals. The theoretical framework aims at covering a wide range of material behaviour …

Fracture of lithium-ion battery electrodes is found to contribute to capacity fade and reduce
the lifespan of a battery. Traditional fracture models for batteries are restricted to …

We present a phase field-based electro-chemo-mechanical formulation for modelling
mechanics-enhanced corrosion and hydrogen-assisted cracking in elastic–plastic solids. A …

The phase field paradigm, in combination with a suitable variational structure, has opened a
path for using Griffith's energy balance to predict the fracture of solids. These so-called …
