Hydrogen damage in FCC steel single crystals

Submitted by Amir Siddiq on

Our recent paper on predicting hydrogen damage in FCC steel single crystals. Most important thing about this paper is that the special issue is dedicated to Professor Siegfried Schmauder on his 65th birthday. Happy birthday Professor Schmauder and thanks for all your guidance, support and collaborations throughout my journey which still continues.
