Via molecular dynamics simulations, the effects of hydrogen on stress evolution of -zirconium and crack propagation in monocrystalline and multiple grained zirconium systems are investigated. Diffusion barriers are shown to reduce when strain is appl... Read More about Modelling the effect of hydrogen on crack growth in zirconium.
