- We present a paradigm change to the modelling of hydrogen-assisted cracking, previously restricted to discrete numerical methods. The model has opened a pathway to the elusive goal of lifetime prediction of engineering components undergoing hydrogen-assisted cracking. ExxonMobil now using the model to conduct the first Virtual Testing in energy infrastructure (ExxonMobil, contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk) and DHRTC/TOTAL funded another follow-up project with £300k (https://www.oilgas.dtu.dk/english/news/news-and-press/nyhedsbase/2019/04/new-reliable-methods-for-assessing-structural-integrity-of-offshore-platforms?id=0411bef3-c1b8-4df4-8e72-63fecff6e913). First author invited by Institution of Mechanical Engineers to present the work to more than 150 engineers from energy, defence and transport sectors (http://events.imeche.org/ViewEvent?code=SEM6860).
