The Effect of Stress on Hydride Precipitation.

Abstract

A major difficulty in comprehending the mechanism of stress induced hydride fracture has been brought to the attention of one of the authors (HKB) by the other two. This difficulty has arisen because a clear distinction was not made between uniformly and non-uniformly stressed situations in the metal-hydrogen systems previously discussed. Since this distinction is a crucial one in understanding the proposed fracture mechanism, an attempt will be made here to resolve this difficulty. In addition, the discussion will encompass some general aspects of the effects of stress on hydride precipitation.
