Description

Abaqus 3D Hydrogen Diffusion, Fatigue, Damage & Cracking

This package (Abaqus 3D Hydrogen Diffusion) provides a fully coupled three-dimensional hydrogen modeling environment for Abaqus, enabling simulation of diffusion, fatigue, damage, and cracking within realistic structural components. Unlike simplified academic examples, this framework (Abaqus Hydrogen crack 3D) integrates transport physics, mechanical response, and failure criteria into one consistent numerical workflow suitable for industrial applications. 

This work is based on the frameworks of the papers [1,2] published in Engineering Fracture Mechanics (2024) and Acta Materialia (2020) and is fully compatible with Abaqus/Standard developed by Dassault Systèmes [1,2,3,4]. This is Part-3 of the Abaqus Hydrogen Modeling Suite and builds directly on the diffusion-cracking–mechanics coupling developed in Part-1 and Part-2.
