Combined effects of stress and temperature on hydrogen diffusion in non-hydride forming alloys applied in gas turbines

Hydrogen plays a vital role in the utilisation of renewable energy, but ingress and diffusion of hydrogen in a gas turbine can induce hydrogen embrittlement on its metallic components. This paper aims to investigate the hydrogen transport in a non-hydride forming alloy such as Alloy 690 used in gas turbines inspired by service conditions of...

Effect of imperfections on the actuation performance of lattice materials

The effects of five different types of imperfection (fractured cell walls, missing cells, cell wall waviness, cell wall misalignment, and non-uniform cell wall thickness) on actuation performance are numerically investigated for the Kagome lattice and two of its variants: Double Kagome (DK) and Kagome with concentric triangles (KT). The...
