Environmentally Assisted Cracking: Overview of Evidence for an Adsorption-Induced Localised-Slip Process,

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that hydrogen-assisted cracking occurs because adsorption facilitates the injection of dislocations from crack tips and thereby promotes the coalescence of cracks with voids ahead of cracks.

Liquid metal embrittlement

TL;DR: The authors describes the principal characteristics of liquid metal embrittlement and the several models which have been advanced in attempts to explain the occurrence and different features of the process Comparison between theory and experiment indicates that many, but not all, of its aspects are consistent with a mechanism which operates by reducing the fracture surface energy of the solid metal.

Subcritical crack growth, surface energy, fracture toughness, stick-slip and embrittlement

TL;DR: In this paper, it was proposed that the difficulties encountered with the meaning of subcritical crack growth arose from a misunderstanding of the Griffith equation, and the following equation, well verified for adherence of elastomers, G−2γ=2γφT(v) where φT (v) is related to viscoelastic losses or internal friction at the crack tip, is generalized to other materials.

Interface adsorption, embrittlement and fracture in metallurgy: A review

TL;DR: In this article, a review of grain boundary adsorption and its effect on important mechanical properties such as temper brittleness in steels is presented. But no attempt is made to provide a complete bibliography but rather to put in perspective the significant and properly documented observations relating to segregation.

Materials for future nuclear energy systems

TL;DR: This paper reviewed some of the fuels and structural materials used in advanced nuclear energy systems and identified promising candidates for these systems, including metallic fuels for the sodium cooled reactor, TRISO-coated particle fuel for the high temperature gas reactor, molten salt reactor fuels, and accident tolerant fuels for light water reactors.

XLI. The equilibrium of linear arrays of dislocations.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for finding the equilibrium positions of a set of like dislocations in a common slip-plane under the influence of a given applied stress is given by the roots of a certain set of orthogonal polynomials.
