Fracture Analysis of a Semi-Elliptical Surface Crack in Hollow Cylinders

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this investigation, the weight function method was employed to calculate the stress intensity factors for semi-elliptical surface crack in a hollow cylinder. An uniform stress and a linear stress distributions were used as the two references to determine the weight function. The weight function was then applied to a wide range of semi-elliptical surface cracks subjected to non-linear loadings. The stress intensity factors obtained by the weight function were compared with literature results. Good agreement demonstrates the accuracy of the present approach.
