✦ Synopsis

A method of predicting fatigue crack growth in hydrogen-charged thin steel plates is proposed. It consists in computing modified stress intensity factors which reflect the presence of hydrogen, and using them in a fatigue crack growth equation for an uncharged plate. The modification accounts for both, hydrogen embrittlement of crack tips and hydrogen-induced residual stresses in the plate. The new stress intensity factors are derived for two special cases -uniform and stationary hydrogen distribution in the plate. With their use bounds are established on the rate of hydrogen-assisted fatigue crack growth. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical calculations.

A damage-based cohesive model is developed for simulating crack growth due to fatigue loading. The cohesive model follows a linear damage-dependent traction-separation relation coupled with a damage evolution equation. The rate of damage evolution is characterized by three material parameters corres
