Abstract

This paper considers the fracture mechanics analysis in ANSYS for cylindrical panels with semielliptical non-through surface cracks. The results of calculating the fracture mechanics parameters along the defect front are presented. A universal formula for determining the stress intensity factor value at the representative points of the front line is proposed.
