Mechanism of hydrogen embrittlement and guidelines for fatigue design

Référence Cetim : 2C28.Auteurs : Yukitaka Murakami, Saburo Matsuoka, Yoshiyuki and Shin Nishimura. In 2012, Japanese researchers published a reference book entitled Mechanism of Hydrogen Embrittlement and Guidelines for Fatigue Design. This book provides a detailed explanation of hydrogen embrittlement with numerous application examples and fatigue design guidelines. Professor Yukitaka Murakami, one of the main authors of the Japanese version of this book, emeritus professor of the Kyushu University and Honoris Causa of INSA Lyon, first director of the Research Center for Hydrogen Industrial Use and Storage (Hydrogenius) in Kyushu, did the honor of putting Cetim in touch with the publisher of the Japanese version of the book, Mr. Masashi Oikawa from YOKENDO LTD. This has enabled the production of two translated versions, one in French and this present publication in English. These two versions are a faithful translation of the Japanese version so as not to betray the original spirit. After the publication of several guidelines on fatigue dedicated to the mechanical sector, Cetim at present, by means of this book, intends to actively participate in the diffusion of such knowledge on an international level. With particular concern for a global issue, that of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen represents, for this purpose, a promising solution for industrial processes, transport or energy production given the current energy and ecological challenges. Enjoy your read...
