Abstract
ABSTRACTBased on detailed 3‐dimensional (3‐D) elastic finite element (FE) analyses, the present paper provides stress intensity factors (SIFs) for plates with slanted through‐wall crack (TWC) and cylinders with slanted circumferential TWC. Regarding loading conditions, axial tension was considered for the plates, whereas axial tension, global bending and internal pressure were considered for the cylinders. To cover a practical range, the geometric variables affecting the SIF were systematically varied. Based on FE results, SIFs along the crack front, including the inner and outer surface points, were provided. The present results can be used to evaluate the fatigue crack growth or stress corrosion cracking behaviour of a slanted TWC and furthermore to perform detailed Leak‐Before‐Break analysis considering a more realistic crack shape.
