Elsevier Mechanics - Microstructure - Corrosion Coupling: Concepts, Experiments, Modeling and Cases

Product Description Mechanics - Microstructure - Corrosion Coupling takes stock of the state of the art of scientific and technological developments related to the durability of materials and structures subjected to mechanical and environmental stress coupled or decoupled. This type of issue affects different industrial sectors such as energy, aeronautics, chemistry or the oil industry. Experimental, theoretical and numerical aspects will be tackled at different scales. The objective is to provide its readers with the most advanced tools and scientific approaches to: Apprehend the coupling phenomena through the understanding of the associated mechanisms and, thus, to identify the variables of the first order among those related to the mechanical state, the material or the chemical environment Propose strategies to control and / or extend the lifespan of structures in a multi-process coupling situation. For this, the physicochemical, mechanical and metallurgical bases of the mechanical-environment-microstructure interactions will be taken up again, then the focus will be on the latest advances in research in these areas (hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion, fatigue, etc., especially on the consideration of the multi-scale aspect of the phenomena in the implementation of dedicated experiments as in the modeling of the behavior and the damage of the structures. Reviews the status of scientific and technological developments related to the durability of materials Addresses experimental, theoretical and numerical aspects at different scales Provides the most advanced tools and scientific approaches Focuses on the latest advances such as (hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion, fatigue, etc.) Review Presents scientific and technological developments in the durability of materials and structures subjected to mechanical and environmental stress, coupled or decoupled About the Author Is a Professor in ENSIACET -INPT / CIRIMAT (UMR-CNRS 5085).
