Quantitative phase field modelling of stress-corrosion-cracking
In recent years, the phase field method has proven itself to be a powerful and versatile method to model solidification and fractures. However, it is far from being limited to those fields and recent studies has shown that phase field is ideal to study corrosion. Utilizing recent phase field models of stress-corrosion-cracking, I will create a workflow to parameterize those models to experiments. Thus, making them suitable to reproduce experimental work, and offering an in-silico way to quantitatively study the process of stress-corrosion-cracking in various materials.
