Mode I weight functions were derived for the deepest and surface points of an external radial-longitudinal semi-elliptical surface crack in a thick-walled cylinder with the ratio of the internal radius to wall thickness, Ri/t = 1.0. Coefficients of a general weight function were found using the method of two reference stress intensity factors for two independent stress distributions, and from properties of weight functions. Stress intensity factors calculated using the weight functions were compared to the finite element data for several different stress distributions and to the boundary element method results for the Lame´ hoop stress in an internally pressurized cylinder. A comparison to the ASME Pressure Vessel Code method for deriving stress intensity factors was also made. The derived weight functions enable simple calculations of stress intensity factors for complex stress distributions.

Stress intensity factors for long longitudinal and complete circumferential cracks under stress gradients were calculated using a weight function method. The weight functions were obtained by a method proposed by Petroski and Achenbach [3] and by a finite element fit procedure. Excellent agreement was obtained with finite element results of Labbens, et al. [7].

Weight functions for the surface and the deepest point of an internal longitudinal semi-elliptical crack in a thick-wall cylinder (Ri/t = 1) were derived from a general weight function and two reference stress intensity factors. For several linear and nonlinear crack face stress, fields, the weight functions were validated against finite element data. Stress intensity factors were also calculated for the Lame´ through the thickness stress distribution induced by internal pressure. The weight functions appear to be particularly suitable for fatigue and fracture analysis of surface semi-elliptical cracks in complex stress fields. All stress intensity factor expressions given in the paper are valid for cylinders with the inner-radius-to-wall-thickness ratio, Ri/t = 1.
