Abstract
Stress intensity factors for a single radial crack in a thick-walled cylinder, calculated using a finite element technique, are compared with those found using a ‘modified mapping—collocation’ technique. Values for two diametrically-opposed cracks in cylinders of several diameter ratios are also presented since they appear to represent the worst case of multiple cracking which can occur in vessels of large diameter ratio.
