Sammendrag
This report summarized the development of a Finite Element framework for the description of bulk mass diffusion of a solute (hydrogen) in metallic materials (iron/steels). The implemented governing diffusion law accounts not only for the solute concentration gradients but also for the mechanical state (stress and strain)on the distribution of the solute. The different forms of the Finite Element formultions are described as well as the implementaon in the Abaqus commercial code is through the use of a user defined UMATHT subroutrine. A final chapter is also dedicated to the conversion of the units for hydrogen concentration.
