Abstract
Limit load solutions for axially cracked cylinders are reviewed and compared with available finite element (FE) results. New limit solutions for thick-walled cylinders with axial cracks under internal pressure are developed to overcome problems in the existing solutions. The newly developed limit load solutions are a global solution for through-wall cracks, global solutions for internal/external surface cracks and local solutions for internal/external surface cracks. The newly developed limit pressure solutions are compared with available FE data and the results show that the predictions agree well with the FE results and are generally conservative.
