Special Issue on Multiscale Modelling of Hydrogen Embrittlement
Demand for hydrogen energy is rising to achieve carbon neutrality. Many issues, however, as to hydrogen embrittlement remain despite enormous efforts in this area. The reason is that quantum mechanics governs the behaviour of hydrogen in materials, while the brittle fracture is the macroscopic phenomenon governed by fracture mechanics. Moreover, hydrogen interacts with host atoms, impurities, vacancies, dislocations, grain boundaries, second particles, surfaces, and stress fields complicatedly. A multiscale approach is necessary to understand hydrogen embrittlement. This special issue is addressed to collect papers proposing recent advances in the research and development of the multiscale modelling of hydrogen embrittlement. Results of theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigations can be presented. Review articles can also be proposed.
Potential topics of this special issue include, but are not limited to:
- Numerical techniques for multiscale modelling of hydrogen embrittlement.
- Numerical simulations and experiments of the interaction of hydrogen and lattice defects.
- Experimental techniques of the measurement of hydrogen dynamical behaviour in materials.
- Numerical and experimental techniques for the time scaling for hydrogen degradation.
