Constraint-Based Fracture Mechanics Analysis of Cylinders With Circumferential Cracks
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, the fracture behaviour of hollow cylinders with internal circumferential crack under tensile loading is examined extensively. Finite element analysis of the cracked cylinders is conducted to determine the fracture parameters including stress intensity factor, T-stress, and J-integral. Linear elastic finite element analysis is conducted to obtain K and T-stress, and elastic plastic analysis is conducted to obtain fully plastic J-integrals. A wide range of cylinder geometries are studied, with cylinder thickness ratios of ri/ro = 0.2 to 0.8 and crack depth ratio a/t = 0.2 to 0.8. These fracture parameters are then used to construct conventional and constraint-based failure assessment diagrams (FADs) to determine the maximum load carrying capacity of cracked cylinders. It is demonstrated that these tensile loaded cylinders with circumferential cracks are under low constraint conditions, and the load carrying capacity are higher when the low constraint effects are properly accounted for, using constraint-based FADs, comparing to the predictions from the conventional FADs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
