Three dimensional stress intensity factor for large arrays of radial internal surface cracks in a cylindrical pressure vessel

The objective of this study is to present the mode I stress intensity factor distribution (SIF) along the crack-front for a wide array of semicircular and semi-elliptical surface cracks inside of a pressurized thick-walled cylinder. A three-dimensional finite element package ANSYS is used to evaluat...
