paper describes two-dimensional (2-D) linear and nonlinear investigations of the basic fracture behaviour of a pressurized tube containing surface flaws. The effects of internal and external surface flaws are examined using the finite-element method. Applying symmetry, a quarter of the cross-section
Theoretical analyses, based on an idealised softening law representation, show the extent to which the maximum load J-value is non-unique for an elastic softening solid having a positive geometry. The non-uniqueness arises as a consequence of the load maximum occurring prior to the attainment of a f
