A level set model for stress?dependent corrosion pit propagation

A numerical model for corrosion pit propagation under mechanical loading is presented. The level set method used front tracking and also enables the domain to be split into a solid domain. In diffusion of atoms originating from dissolution process occurring at simulated. capable automatically capturing lacy cover formation due inclusion activation control, passivation. static equilibrium solved obtain strains stresses. parameter, dependent on signs plastic strain increment back stress, introduced define influence plasticity rate. study growth electrochemical loading. Under control combined with an elastic material response, pits propagate faster constant than cyclic When deformation occurs, can significantly increase Increasing load frequency results in kinematic hardening. does not rate, given that salt layer leading remains intact.
