Computational predictions of hydrogen-assisted fatigue crack growth
![](https://thomasyoungcentre.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/GraphicalAbstract-768x286.jpg)
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 contributions. Hydrogen-assisted fatigue crack growth predictions exhibit an…
