✦ Synopsis

The purpose of this report is to present some recent stress intensity factor solutions for cracked rings and holes which may be of general interest to other investigators. The present results are based on mode I solutions reported previously for radially cracked holes in large plates [I] and for radially cracked rings [2] loaded with an arbitrary crack face pressure. These through-thickness flaw geometries, showing the crack face pressure p(x), are presented in Fig. i. In addition to the single crack configurations shown, symmetric double flaws are also considered. Note that the ring geometry is limited to an aspect ratio Ri/R o = 0.5.
