• A uniform hydrogen degradation law for high strength steels 

      Yu, Haiyang; Olsen, Jim Stian; Alvaro, Antonio; Olden, Vigdis; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      The degrading effect of hydrogen on high strength steels is well recognized. The hydrogen degradation is dependent not only on hydrogen content, but also on geometric constraints or equivalently, level of stress triaxiality, ...
