Abstract
In this study, obtaining stress intensity factors (SIFs) for functionally graded cylinders with two internal radial cracks using the weight function method has been discussed. For this purpose, reference SIFs are calculated from the results of finite element analysis, using a modified domain of the J integral. Subsequently, SIFs have been calculated for different combinations of cylinder geometry, crack depth, and material gradation by implementing the weight function method and it is shown that the results are consistent with corresponding results obtained from finite element analysis. Moreover, the effects of variation in the elastic modulus ratio on SIFs have been investigated.
