Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive range of results of Mode I stress intensity factors for the embedded elliptical cracks in cylindrical pr essure vessels. The hybrid boundary element method developed by the au thor is used to calculate the stress intensity factors. For practical uses an approximate method is proposed which is used to estimate the s tress intensity factors of embedded elliptical cracks in cylindrical p ressure vessels from the results of embedded cracks in finite thicknes s plates.
