Advanced Modeling Methods for Pitting Corrosion in Metals

Pitting corrosion poses a significant threat to infrastructure in engineering and there is a lack of comprehensive modeling methodologies to assess the effectiveness of corrosion mitigation strategies specifically designed for various structural systems. This book addresses the need for comprehensive, advanced models that integrate the various stages and factors involved in the process. It covers corrosion fatigue mechanisms and the influence of stress and temperature, and ways to mitigate corrosion induced damage in structural components.

• Discusses exclusive material on modeling of the pitting corrosion process
• Provides a brief outline of experimental techniques for pitting corrosion
• Advanced numerical modeling techniques are explained with a number of examples
• Presents data on modular form for easy understanding of the modeling techniques
• Includes equations/flow charts to generate the numerical codes

This book is a reference for scholars, educators, and practitioners interested in exploring the potential of CPS for inclusive rural development.
