Effect of transient trapping on hydrogen transport near a blunting crack tip
Résumé
The paper revisits the way transient trapping is introduced in the literature based on the Sofronis and McMeeking model [1] of hydrogen transport. It is shown that the direct use of the improved formulation made by Krom et al. [2] for transient trapping may lead to nonphysical results of hydrogen concentration in case of an insulated system. The use of McNabb and Foster trapping kinetic equation is more relevant, and its ability to model both trap creation and kinetic trapping is investigated on a Small Scale Yielding configuration for the sake of comparison with a reference case from the literature. A parametric study is conducted, exhibiting differences with literature, and emphasizes on the significant effect of trapping kinetics on the hydrogen distribution.
