This paper describes the determination of stress intensity factors (SIFs) of a 3D surface crack in acircular hollow section (CHS) T/Y-joint subjected to three basic loading. In order to achieve the main objective, anautomatic finite element (FE) mesh generator is designed whereby the mesh density an...
