We all know how difficult it is to unscrew a rusty bolt due to the expanded rusted volume. Possible explanation is:
- rust is 6 times in volume of the material loss, hence more material is available at the interfacial contact, hence increasing the friction between contacts.
I was wondering how to modify the interfacial properties in the similar manner if interfacial corrosion is to be modelled in ABAQUS?
Open to ideas.
