We present a combined phase field and cohesive zone formulation for hydrogen
embrittlement that resolves the polycrystalline microstructure of metals. Unlike previous …

The atomistic mechanisms of dislocation mobility depending on the presence of hydrogen
were investigated for two edge dislocation systems that are active in the plasticity of α-Fe …

In this study, a two-dimensional multi-region framework, based on the use of the Virtual
Element Method (VEM), is developed for computational materials homogenization and …

A mechano–chemical coupling phase-field model is proposed to investigate stress-
corrosion cracking (SCC). It is demonstrated that pit-to-crack transition occurs when the …

A grain scale framework for thermo-elastic analysis and computational homogenization of
polycrystalline materials is proposed. The morphology of crystal aggregates is represented …

A grain-scale three-dimensional model for the analysis of fatigue intergranular degradation
in polycrystalline materials is presented. The material microstructure is explicitly represented …

Cracking in brittle materials under dynamic loading is widely encountered in engineering.
The discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA) is a numerical method initially proposed to …

Mechanistically understanding stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of Fe-based alloy under
extremely high-temperature and high-pressure conditions is a key challenge for designing …

A significant decrease in hydrogen absorption in the presence of grain boundary carbides
compared to the carbide-free microstructure in the Ni-based HR6W alloy was measured by …

An original three-dimensional generalised micro-electro-mechanical model for
computational homogenisation and analysis of degradation and micro-cracking of …
