Extract

Pressure vessels often have notches or other stress concentrations present. Considering further that pressure vessels are nearly always subjected to some cyclic loading, fatigue cracking at notches is an important problem. The objective here is to describe some fatigue life testing and analysis which was performed with notched specimens in order to determine the effects of notch overload on fatigue life of pressure vessels.
