Abstract
In the safety assessment of pressure vessels and pipes with circumferential surface cracks, it is often necessary to consider fatigue crack propagation and fracture among the possible modes of failure. The stress intensity factors at crack tips are important parameters for estimating residual life and criticality. The purpose of this paper is to present a method to calculate the mode I stress intensities for semi-elliptical crack in pipe. In this paper a range of examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of this method.
