In this investigation, the weight function method was employed to calculate stress intensity factors for semi-elliptical surface crack in a hollow cylinder. A uniform stress and a linear stress distribution were used as the two references to determine the weight functions. These two factors were obtained by a three-dimensional finite element method which employed singular elements along the crack front and regular elements elsewhere. The weight functions were then applied to a wide range of semi-elliptical surface crack subjected to non-linear loadings. The results were validated against finite element data and compared with other analyses. In the parametric study, the effects of the ratio of the surface crack depth to length ranged from 0.2 to 1.0 and the ratio of the crack depth to the wall thickness ranged from 0.2 to 0.8 on stress intensity factors were investigated.

An approach based on the use of rotation and displacement solutions for a cracked element in plane strain is used to obtain the stress intensity factor for a long axial crack in a thin-walled cylinder. The hoop stress distribution in the cylinder prior to introduction of the crack is arbitrary. Results obtained with this approach are in good agreement with numerical solutions for several hoop stress distributions.
