ABSTRACT
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) can appear in numerous components used in different industries. SCC is a localized failure method which is more severe under the combined action of stress and corrosion than would be expected from the sum of the individual effects acting alone. Three indispensable factors – environment, material condition, mechanical loading – has to be present for the SCC to occur. Numerical modeling has become a widely used analysis technique in the engineering world. Therefore also in case of the stress corrosion cracking numerous models have been made, and are still being developed. These models are based on a different kind of mechanism. In the article, the different kinds of numerical methods are going to be introduced in case of intergranular stress corrosion cracking.
