EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report describes the analysis methods and results for
internal surface crack stress intensity K solutions in thick-walled
cylinders. The 744 cases include a range of geometry ratios and
crack size ratios for internal axial and internal circumferential
surface cracks, axial full-width cracks, and 360o circumferential
cracks. These K solutions extend the K factor solutions available
in the 2007 API 579- 1/ASME FFS-1 Annex C tables. The results are
reported as non-dimensional geometry factors that are tabulated in
the appendices along with plots of all the result cases.
