Abstract
The analysis of large through cracks in pressurized fuselages
is a geometrically nonlinear problem that plays an important
role in the assessment of the residual strength of such structures.
The calculation of the stress intensity factors of such
cracks can be carried out by several methods. Among these,
the mode enrichment method has some distinctive advantages.
Not only does it permit to obtain the four independent shell
stress intensity factors accurately, it also offers an easy framework
to obtain the so called T-stress term, a stress parameter
which is believed to be of influence in the mechanism that
governs crack propagation. In this paper we will focus on this
enrichment method and show how it can be incorporated in a
crack growth simulation technique.
