Abstract Surface damage in the form of pitting was observed in NiAl Bronze metal subjected to corrosion and cyclic stresses. In order to investigate the stresses surrounding the evolving pits due to corrosion, an image based computational study was carried out. The computational study involves developing an analysis model from the SEM images of corroded pits and then conducting stress analysis. Several computational simulations were carried out with increasing/evolving pits and the corresponding stress environment was obtained. The results obtained indicate that pit profiles (size and height) greatly affect the stress environment and the maximum stresses More >
