A cohesive zone model to simulate the hydrogen embrittlement effect on a high-strength steel

The present work aims to model the fracture mechanical behavior of a high-strength low carbon steel, AISI 4130 operating in hydrogen contaminated environment. The study deals with the development of 2D finite element cohesive zone model (CZM) reproducing a toughness test. Along the symmetry plane o...
