Abstract

A numerical method is proposed for the evaluation of the stress intensity factors in elastic thick-walled cylindrical shells with cracks subjected to dynamic loading. The method is based on the two-dimensional axially symmetric Wilkins algorithm and the equations of mechanics of brittle fracture. The strength of thick-walled cylinders loaded by pulses of internal pressure and containing technological defects (similar to mathematical cuts) formed at the sites of fixing of their ends by welding is investigated.
