Prevention of crack kinetic development in a damaged rod exposed to an aggressive environment

Abstract The relevance of this topic is due to the need to ensure the safety and reliability of structures and materials. The objective of this research is to develop effective methods and strategies to prevent or retard the development of cracks in damaged rods. The methods used include mathematical modelling method, computer simulation method, chemical analysis method, protective coatings testing method, mechanical testing method, and others. The research revealed that structural assemblies markedly affect the mechanical properties of crystalline materials, highlighting the correlation between internal atomic configuration and fracture resistance. Through the examination of perfect crystals as parallel atomic planes and the study of fracture propagation kinetics, essential processes regulating crack initiation and cessation were discerned. The study presented novel techniques that include material deterioration in harsh environments and effectively developed and resolved a mathematical model to prevent fracture propagation in rods. This research has practical value and significance for industries and engineering, understanding the mechanisms that lead to the stopping of crack propagation allows the development of methods to prevent the failure of materials under conditions of aggressive operation.
