The Finite Element Analysis of Semi Elliptical Surface Crack in Horizontal Type Pressure Vessel<br>
<br>

<strong>Abstract</strong><br>
In this study, the effect of crack geometry and crack locations on the stress intensity factors of the semi-elliptical
surface cracks present on the horizontal type pressure vessel were investigated. Unsymmetric boundary conditions were
applied to create a real environment. The highest stress concentration area observed at the intersection of left-hand side
nozzle-cylinder. It was also observed that the crack present at location 2(on the top of PV) were more dangerous than other
location.
