This work deals with a computational model for hydrogen transport, hydrogen induced deformation, embrittlement and fracture in hydride forming metals, notably Ti and Zr. The model uses a continuum description of the two-phase (alpha-phase metal plus delta-phase hydride) material, and solves the multi-field partial differential equations for temperature- and stress-directed hydrogen diffusion together with mechanical equilibrium in a three-dimensional finite element setting. Point-kinetics models are used for metal-hydride phase transfor¬mation and stress-directed orientation of hydrides, while a cohesive zone fracture model caters for initiation and propagation of cracks. The model as a whole is versatile and can be used to study a wide range of problems and conditions involving transport of hydrogen by directed diffusion in combination with hydride precipitation and fracture. The applicability of the model is demon-strated by simulations of fracture tests on a hydrogen-charged Zr-Nb alloy.
