Fracture Mechanics

(OP)
Does anyone have any good liks to sites that deal with flaws / cracks in pressure vessels subject to cyclic pressure loading?  Anything that relates to Paris equation and the likes?

Development of Stress Intensity Factor Solutions for Surface and Embedded Cracks in API 579

WRC Bulletin 471 -- MAY 2002

The Bulletin presents a comprehensive numerical study in which a large number of Mode I stress intensity factor ( ) solutions for cracks in plates and shells were generated for inclusion in the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice on Fitness for Service (RP 579).  A series of 2D and 3D finite element analyses were performed on plates, cylinders, and spheres containing surface cracks and buried cracks.  A wide range of flaw aspect ratios at radius/thickness ratios were considered. The results of these analyses are tabulated.

The Bulletin also describes a weight function methodology in which  solutions for arbitrary through-wall stress distributions can be derived for surface cracks in plates and shells.  The weight function for a given geometry and crack size is derived from reference solutions for uniform and linear crack-face pressure.  The necessary reference  solutions for surface cracks in plates, cylinders and spheres are provided.
