Analysis of the influence of microstructural traps on hydrogen assisted fatigue

Submitted by Emilio Martíne… on

Dear iMechanicians,

I hope some of you find of interest our latest Acta Mat. paper. We show that the concept of "beneficial traps" can enlarge by an order of magnitude the range of "safe loading frequencies" at which hydrogen embrittlement is not observed.
