Research summary
AI-generated

R. M. Latanision studies how metals fail when exposed to certain chemical environments, focusing especially on hydrogen embrittlement (weakening of metal caused by absorbed hydrogen), stress corrosion cracking, and related fracture mechanisms. Much of the recent work examines the role of surface stress in triggering environment-assisted fracture and relates different fracture-toughness measurements used to predict cracking. This research is relevant to understanding the durability and failure of metal components used in structures and machinery.

Publication output over the last decade has been low and irregular, with several zero-output years interspersed with small bursts of activity (e.g., 2021 and 2024), suggesting an intermittent rather than steadily growing or declining pace.
