Shell of arbitrary curvature with cracks of different type and geometry

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

The interaction of through, surface, and internal cracks in shells of arbitrary curvature is examined. Crack of the same and different types with various geometry are considered. The curvature of the shell, the length and depth of the cracks, their arrangement and distance between them have a strong effect on the stress intensity factors for part-through cracks and on the force and moment intensity factors for through cracks
