Stress intensity factors are estimated for a spherical cap surrounded by a peripheral crack in a semi‐infinite body. Using finite element analysis, the stress concentration of a spherical cap was determined as a function of the radius and depth of the cap. This stress concentration was then taken into account in developing the appropriate stress intensity factor for the peripheral crack around the spherical cap.
