Abstract
Underground hydrogen storage (UHS) is an important way to alleviate the fluctuating renewable energy production. But the hydrogen embrittlement affects the efficient and safe operation of UHS. In this study, a peridynamic plastic hydrogen embrittlement model (PDPHE model) is developed to analyze the hydrogen-related damage of the UHS. The proposed PDPHE model can capture the full process of the hydrogen-assisted crack propagation, including the crack initiation and the crack propagation. The influences of hydrogen diffusion and plastic deformation on the damage nucleation are considered in the proposed model. To improve the computing efficiency, parallel computing is applied in the numerical simulation by using the CUDA framework from the NVIDIA. The numerical examples investigate the hydrogen-assisted crack propagation of mode I and the complex mode. The validity and the efficiency of the proposed PDPHE in simulating the damage caused by the hydrogen embrittlement effect are validated. The hydrogen-related damage of the UHS casing pipe is numerically analyzed. And the numerical results indicate that the applied load and the initial applied hydrogen concentration have an impact on the crack nucleation and the propagation speed.
期刊介绍:
GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'''' in one form or another in their research.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'''' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including:
(a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate flows, plasmas, swarms, etc.,
(b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and
(c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as
Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few.
