A finite-element computational model of chloride-induced transgranular stress-corrosion cracking of austenitic stainless steel
This paper describes a micromechanical model to describe stress corrosion crack (SCC) growth in stainless steel pipes. The results show that residual stress redistribution must be accounted for in the prediction of crack growth rate and direction. The work has been cited by a wide number of groups:nuclear engineering (Prawato doi:10.1016/j.commatsci.2011.08.026, Huang et al.(doi:10.1016/j.nucengdes.2013.01.019), biomedical(Gastaldi et al. doi:10.1016/j.jmbbm.2010.11.003) and surface coating (Ma et al. doi:10.1016/j.surfcoat.2012.07.002). Led to a further MoD PhD project (~£150 k) on SCC and current PhD work (~£120 K) on an EPSRC grant (EP/I003088/1).
