A closed cylindrical shell under uniform internal pressure has a slit around a portion of its circumference. Linear shallow shell theory predicts invelse square-root-type singularities in certain of the stresses at the crack tips. This paper reports the computed strength of these singularities for d

โฆ Synopsis
Following an earlier analysis of an axial line crack in a cylindrical shell, the stresses for a finite circumferential crack are presented. The inverse square root singularity of the stresses peculiar to crack problems is obtained in both the extensional and bending components. Furthermore, the initial curvature may be related to that found in an initially fiat plate by a factor of the form %hell m I + (a + b ~n c c 2 Crplat e ~) ~ + ...

Finite element analysis was performed on isotropic and orthotropic cylindrical shells with circumferential cracks. Two different types of loading boundary conditions were used which assume either the application of axial tension or torsion. Particular attention was given to the problem of transverse
