Abstract
This article discusses the finite element analysis of stress intensity factors in cracked cylindrical vessels subjected to various loading conditions. Accurate prediction of stresses and stress intensity factors around cracks is essential for fracture mechanics analysis and fatigue life estimation of pressurized cylindrical vessels. Finite element methods provide an efficient way to model the complex geometry and loading conditions of cracked cylindrical vessels and determine the stress intensity factors at crack tips.
