What is it about?
The synergetic effects between ultrasonic vibration fatigue life and synergistically active hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanisms in low carbon bcc steel (S355J2+N, equivalent to ASTM A656), according to the HELP + HEDE model for hydrogen embrittlement, is modeled for the first time using the unified mechanics theory (UMT) and also thoroughly discussed.

Why is it important?
The original contribution of this paper is the derivation of the fundamental thermodynamic equation of pre-hydrogen embrittled bcc steel subjected to ultrasonic very high cycle fatigue and the numerical simulations of fatigue life estimation using the proposed novel model. The entropy production due to hydrogen-enhanced mechanisms, the synergistic action, and the interplay of hydrogen embrittlement (HE) mechanisms (HELP + HEDE) during fatigue is formulated, modeled, implemented, and critically discussed within the framework of the UMT approach.
Perspectives
The HELP + HEDE model for the synergistic action of the hydrogen embrittlement mechanism is thoroughly reviewed, discussed, and applied. The subsection of this paper is devoted to critical hydrogen concentration, hydrogen-dislocation interactions, and the synergy of HE mechanisms.
