Abstract

Thin-walled cylindrical vessels are widely used in various industries for storage and transportation of fluids and gases. However, due to their nature of operation, these vessels are prone to failure, which can have catastrophic consequences. One of the critical factors that can affect the failure of thin-walled cylindrical vessels is the presence of cracks. In this study, we investigate the interaction of stress intensity factors (SIFs) in thin-walled cylindrical vessels with multiple cracks using finite element analysis. We designed and modeled a cylindrical vessel with multiple cracks and conducted a series of simulations to investigate the effect of the crack size, orientation, and location on the SIFs and the likelihood of vessel failure. Our results show that the interaction of SIFs in thin-walled cylindrical vessels with multiple cracks significantly affects the likelihood of vessel failure. The study highlights the importance of considering the interaction of SIFs in the design and operation of thin-walled cylindrical vessels to ensure their safe and reliable operation.
