Verification of the two-criteria approach for crack growth initiation of an axially cracked cylinder
Abstract
An application of elastic-plastic fracture mechanics is desired to evaluate the integrity of nuclear pressure vessels and piping accurately and realistically. However, analyses of the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics parameters such as the J-integral require a lot of numerical calculations. Therefore, development of a simple engineering method is necessary to apply the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics widely for integrity evaluations.
