“…According to (Rimoli and Ortiz, 2010), it is widely reckoned that these interactions are not entirely understood at present, and, as argued in (Scheider et al, 2008), it is not currently possible to obtain a direct measure of hydrogen concentration in the region adjacent to the crack tip. As described in (Serebrinsky et al, 2004) and in (Sofronis and McMeeking, 1989), an alternative approach, adopted in different studies, such as (Scheider et al, 2008), (Raykar et al, 2011), (Alvaro et al, 2014a) and (Olden et al, 2014), consists in assuming that hydrogen adsorption can be represented via appropriate boundary conditions. For this purpose, the concept of hydrogen coverage is introduced and defined as:…”
