β¦ Synopsis
In the present paper a formula for the stress intensity factor (SF) of a nozzle comer l/4 circular crack in a P.V. nozzle along the longitudinal section of a cylinder is proposed and verified with the fatigue experimental results of 30-nozzle corner cracks from nine-piece plate-nozzle models and three pressure vessels. The maximum difference between the K, calculated with the proposed formula and the experimental results is less than 15%.

A calculation procedure for plates with semi-elliptical surface cracks under tension and bending with aspect ratios of d c 5 0.2 and arbitrary relative crack depths d t is presented. For the computation an improved line spring model is used. K,-values are calculated along the crack contour. For the
## A~~ct-Applying Smith's solution for a semi-circular flaw, an approximate expression is derived for a corner flaw emanating from an edge of a quarter infinite solid. The maximum stress intensity factor on the periphery of the flaw is found to be K = ~420. The same expression can be obtained if a
