Evaluation of Hydrogen-induced Cracking Behavior in Duplex Stainless Steel by Numerical Simulation of Stress and Diffusible Hydrogen Distribution at the Microstructural Scale

Thermomechanical Analysis of Ceramic Composites Using Object Oriented Finite Element Analysis

“…It can be said that the OOF2 provides a better transition between the mechanical/thermal behavior of a heterogeneous material at the macro-scale and the mechanical/thermal response of its constituent phases. It provides adequate information about microstructures/ phases (volume fraction, distribution, orientation) to ensure a realistic assessment of thermo-mechanical properties [30][31][32]. More recently, a study was performed on ferritic-pearlitic based steel and found that the predicted results was in good agreement with the experimental results [31].…”

“…Recently, OOF2 is also used for meshing and FE solutions are obtained by integrating meshing with ABAQUS or MATLAB. In this direction, many researchers have used OOF2-ABAQUS to get the shear stress distribution [26,33], elastic modulus, crack distribution in the materials/composites [32,34], residual stresses [29], and thermal properties [28]. Devi lal et al [24,26] fabricated 7 wt.% Y 2 O 3 stabilized ZrO 2 beam to study the presence of microcracks/pores during bending by OOF2 with ABAQUS.…”

“…Devi lal et al [24,26] fabricated 7 wt.% Y 2 O 3 stabilized ZrO 2 beam to study the presence of microcracks/pores during bending by OOF2 with ABAQUS. Similarly, crack analysis of duplex stainless steel (ferrite + austenite phases) strength and hydrogen diffusion characteristics are investigated at the microstructure scale [30,32]. Most recently, the space charge distribution between two-grain boundaries or interface in bulk is also studied [35].…”
