Abstract

Stress intensity factor is one of the most important parameters in fracture mechanics. Based on the principle of virtual work and bending theory, this paper proposes a method to estimate the stress intensity factor for circumferential cracked elliptical pipes and derive the expression of the stress intensity factor for circumferential cracked elliptical pipes under tension. The compare of the result of this method and finite element method shows this method is credible and convenient.
