This study investigates the cracking of pressure vessels using advanced numerical methods. It examines the linear and non-linear behavior of materials by studying the evolution of Von Mises stresses, the stress intensity factor and the J-integral. The study emphasizes the integration of numerical models with fracture mechanics, specifically, using the finite element method and the meshless method. The aim is to identify the limitations and complementarities of these approaches to improve the modeling of cracked pressure vessels.
