ABSTRACT = {A two-dimensional corrosion initiation and growth model for aircraft aluminum materials is developed. The model takes into account the electro-chemical parameters as well as specific rules governing corrosion mechanisms. The simulation program is implemented in a cellular automata framework. The corrosion initiation and growth patterns obtained from simulations are compared qualitatively and quantitatively to the experimental data obtained from the Center for Materials Diagnostics at the University of Dayton Research Institute, Dayton. The results indicate that the present model effectively captures the corrosion damage process including initiation and growth. The effects of various electro-chemical parameters on the damage growth obtained from the simulation are presented and discussed. The results presented illustrate a new approach to modeling corrosion damage in aircraft aluminum materials. The simulation program is developed in a JAVA environment for ease of portability and usability.},
