Stress intensity factor in c-ring shape

C-Ring shaped thick-wall pipes are very common in power plant, chemical, processing, oil and gas industry. The C-Ring shaped equipment can be either thin or thick wall depending on the purpose of that particular equipment. Most often, cracks occur on the surface whether it is internally or externall...

The C-Ring shaped equipment can be either thin or thick wall depending on the purpose of that particular equipment. Most often, cracks occur on the surface whether it is internally or externally of a thickwall cylinder. Especially when welding is used in the fabrication of the thick-wall CRing shape, cracks can easily occur due to solidification or hydrogen embrittlement at the welded joint, typically butt-welded joint.
