** Abstract : -Calculating the maximum value Pmax that causes the fracture propagation while applying the internal static pressure . -Evaluating the time-limit for applying the continous / discrete form of internal dynamic pressure for the round metal vessel under conditions given by series expansion and curve -fitting method . ** Subjects: Fracture Mechanics , The stress intensity factor KI . This worksheet demonstrates Maple's capabilities in estimating the maximum pressure and the time-limit for applying static or dynamic pressure on the surface of a round metal vessel which has an internal semi-elliptical surface crack .
