APPENDIX C - Compendium of Stress Intensity Factor Solutions

(Draft - Revision 22 - MS Word 7.0)

C.1 General

C.1.1 Overview

C.1.1.1 This appendix contains stress intensity factor solutions for many crack geometries which are likely to
occur in welded joints of pressurized components. Stress intensity factor solutions are used in the
assessment of crack-like flaws, see Section 9.0.

C.1.1.2 A summary of the stress intensification factors is contained in Table C.1. These stress intensity factor
solutions are recommended for most applications based on consideration of accuracy, range of
applicability and convenience. However, additional cases and improved solutions are being produced
for future incorporation into this appendix.

C.1.1.3 Stress intensity factors not included in this appendix may either be obtained from handbooks (see
references [2], [15], [21], [22] and [29]) if the tabulated solutions correspond to the component and
crack geometry, and the loading condition. Otherwise, the stress intensity factor should be computed
using a numerical approach such as the finite element method.

C.1.1.4 The stress intensity factor solutions for plates can also be utilized to approximate the solution for a
curved shell (cylinder and sphere) by introduction of a surface correction or bulging factor. This type of
solution should only be utilized if a stress intensity factor equation is not listed in the sections covering
shell type components.

C.1.1.5 A reference code has been assigned to each stress intensity factor in this appendix, see Table C.1.
This reference code is a set of alpha-numeric characters that uniquely identifies the component
geometry, crack geometry and loading. The purpose of the reference code is to enable identification of
the associated limit load solution to be used in an assessment of crack like flaws, see Section 9.0. For
example, if a flat plate with a though wall crack subject to a membrane stress is being evaluated, the
stress intensity factor solution to be used is KPTC, and the associated limit load solution is LPTC. A
listing of the reference stress solutions is provided in Appendix D.

C.2 Stress Analysis

C.2.1 Overview

C.2.1.1 A stress analysis using handbook or numerical techniques is required to compute the state of stress at
the location of a crack. The stress distribution to be utilized in determining the stress intensity factor is
based on the component of stress normal to the crack face. The distribution may be linear (made up of
membrane and/or bending distributions) or highly nonlinear based on the component geometry and
loading conditions.

C.2.1.2 The stress distributions normal to the crack face should be determined for the primary and secondary
loading conditions based on service requirements the uncracked component geometry. If the
component is subject to different operating conditions, the stress distributions for each conditions
should be evaluated.

C.2.2 Stress Distributions

C.2.2.1 Overview - The stress intensity factor solutions in this appendix are formulated in terms of the
coefficients of a linear stress distribution (membrane and bending) or cubic polynomial stress
distribution, or in terms of a general stress distribution (weight functions). Therefore, if the stress
intensity factor required for the assessment is written in terms of coefficients of a stress distribution, it is
necessary to derive these coefficients from the results obtained from a stress analysis.

C.2.2.2 General Stress Distribution - A general stress distribution through the wall thickness can be obtained
from a two or three dimensional elasticity solution (e.g. Lame solutions for a thick wall cylinder and
sphere) or can be determined using a numerical analysis technique such as the finite element method.
In some cases, the stress distribution normal to the crack face may be highly non-linear.

a. Statically equivalent membrane and bending stress components can be determined from the
general stress distribution using the following equations; the integration is performed along a line
assuming a unit width, see Appendix B.

σ ij , m = ∫ (σ ij ⋅ 1)ds (C.1)

t/2
σ ij ,b = ∫ (σ ij ⋅ 1)sds (C.2)
−t / 2

where,

σij,m = Equivalent membrane stress for a stress component

σij,b = Equivalent bending stress for a stress component
σij = Stress component being evaluated
s = Local coordinate through the wall thickness
t = Plate thickness
b. A general stress distribution can be used directly to determine a stress intensity factor by
integration of this distribution with a suitable weight function. Weight functions have been
provided in this appendix for a limited number of component and crack geometries.

C.2.2.3 Cubic Polynomial Stress Distribution - The cubic polynomial stress distribution can be obtained by
curve-fitting the general stress distribution. This distribution is utilized to obtain a more accurate
representation of the stress intensity for highly nonlinear stress distribution. Many of the stress intensity
factor solutions in this appendix have been developed based on a cubic polynomial stress distribution.

a. The general form of the cubic polynomial stress distribution is as follows:

2 3
 x  x  x
σ ( x ) = σ o + σ 1  + σ 2   + σ 3  (C.3)
t t t

where
t = Wall thickness of the component
x = Coordinate for the stress distribution; in this appendix, the origin of the
coordinate is shown in the figures which depict the crack geometry
b. The equivalent membrane and bending stress distributions for the cubic polynomial stress
distribution are:

σ1 σ 2 σ 3
σ m = σ1 + + + (C.4)
2 3 4

σ 1 σ 2 9σ 3
σb = − − − (C.5)
2 2 20

C.2.2.4 Cubic Polynomial Stress Distribution With Net Section Bending Stress - This distribution is used to
represent a through-wall cubic polynomial stress and a net section or global bending stress applied to a
circumferential crack in a cylindrical shell.

 x   y 

 x  x  x

t t t  Ri + t   Ri + t 

where
Ri = Inside radius of the component
t = Wall thickness of the component

x = Radial coordinate originating at the internal surface of the component

xg = Global coordinate for definition of net section bending moment about the x-axis
yg = Global coordinate for definition of net section bending moment about the y-axis
C.2.2.5 Membrane and Through-Wall Bending - The membrane and bending stress distribution is linear
through the wall thickness and represents a common subset of the general stress distribution. This
distribution occurs in thin plate and shell structures and can be computed using handbook solutions or
by using a numerical technique such as finite element analysis. If finite element analysis is utilized in a
fitness-for-service assessment, the results from plate and shell elements will directly yield membrane
and bending stress distributions. The stress intensity factor solutions in this appendix can be used if a
membrane and through-wall bending stress distribution is known. For the special case of weld
misalignment and shell out-of-roundness, the bending stress solution can be computed using the
membrane stress solution and the following equation:

σ b = σ m Rb (C.7)

where

σm = Membrane stress, psi:MPa,,

Rb = ratio of induced bending stress to the applied membrane stress ( see paragraphs
[Link], [Link] and [Link] of Section 8.0)
C.2.3 Surface Correction Factors

C.2.3.1 Surface correction or bulging factors are used to quantify the local increase in the state of stress at the
location of a crack in a shell which occurs because of local bulging. The magnified state of stress is
then used together with a reference stress solution for a plate with a similar crack geometry to
determine the reference stress for the shell. Surface correction factors are typically only applied to the
membrane part of the stress intensity solution because this represents the dominate part of the
solution.

C.2.3.2 The surface correction factors for through-wall cracks in cylindrical and spherical shells subject to
membrane stress loading are defined in paragraph D.2.3.2. The surface correction factors for surface
cracks can be approximated using the results obtained for a though-wall crack by using one of the
methods discussed in paragraph D.2.3.3. The surface correction factor based on net section collapse
is recommended for use in this appendix.

c. If c>>a, the solution approaches that of a plate with an edge crack.

d. The solution presented can be used for cylinders and spheres when Ri/t > 10. The following
modifications are required:

1. A surface correction factor, Ms, should be used for longitudinal cracks or circumferential
cracks in cylinders or circumferential cracks spheres located on the outside surface, see
paragraph C.2.3,

2. The finite width correction factor should be set equal to one, fw=1.0,

3. For internal cracks, the pressure loading on the crack faces should be included in the
membrane stress.

e. The stress intensity factor solution presented above may be overly conservative for finite width
plates. Alternative values for the stress intensity factors are presented in Tables C.2 through C.5
for ϕ=0 and ϕ=90 Degrees [23].

C.9.1 Ring-Stiffened Cylinder - Surface Crack At The Toe Of One Fillet Weld, Circumferential Direction - 360
Degrees, Pressure Loading (KRCSCCL1)

C.9.1.1 The Mode I Stress Intensity Factor

K I = pM 1pc π a (C.246)

C.9.1.2 Notes:

a. See Figure C.25 for the component and crack geometry.

b. The coefficients, M 1pc , are provided in Table C.15.

c. Crack geometry dimensional limits: 0.2 ≤ a/t ≤ 0.8.

d. The effects of the fillet weld on the stress field at the location of the fillet weld are included in the
solution; a magnification factor is not required.

e. This solution may be used for W, T, I, L and plain rings attached by fillet welds to the inside of
the vessel when the vessel is subject to a positive internal pressure.

f. This solution may also be used for W, T, I, L and plain rings attached by fillet welds to the
outside of the vessel when the vessel is subject to a partial or full vacuum. The results for this
configuration and loading will be conservative because the membrane stress field in the vessel is
compressive; the only tensile stress is a result local through-wall bending at the ring to cylinder
attachment location.
