Plastic collapse pressure of cylindrical vessels containing longitudinal surface cracks

A review of limit load solutions for cylinders with axial cracks and development of new solutions

“…14 and 15 compare normalised limit pressures predicted using Eqs. (27), (35) and (37) (g ¼ 2= ffiffiffi 3 p ) with FE results based on the von Mises yield criterion due to Staat and Vu [12] for cases of k ¼ 2 and due to Zarrabi et al [16] for k ¼ 1.57. From the figures, Eq.…”

“…Jun et al [15] performed 3-D FE analyses for cylinders with axial surface defects under internal pressure and presented results for the local limit pressure. Zarrabi et al [16] also performed 3-D FE analyses for axial cracked cylinders, but did not give formulae for the limit load solutions.…”
