The fatigue crack extension analyses were performed for various crack depth-crack length combinations which just would have survived the boost pressure. For both the simulation of crack propagation under service load and the prediction of the end-of-life state residual stresses due to the pre-history of the tube were considered. The information on these stresses was provided by finite element simulation.
