The emergence of fractures in structural designs has been a problem for engineering for some decades, and one of the areas where this topic is widely studied is in commercial aircraft. Several accidents have occurred in the last decades due to the appearance of a fracture in commercial aircraft, and for this reason the study of fracture mechanics is so important for this field of engineering. A structural component is tolerant of damage if it can safely sustain critical length fractures until it is repaired or its economic life has expired. Reinforcers or stiffeners have the main function of improving the resistance and stability of these structures and providing a means of decelerating or stopping the propagation of fractures in nuclear containments, reactors, viaducts, tall buildings, aircraft, ship hulls, bridges and offshore structures. Analyzing the stress intensity factor and how the behavior of a sheet with and without stiffeners is different are some of the issues studied in this work. The stress-intensity factor (SIF), a parameter that describes the intensity of the singular stress field, has been used successfully to estimate fracture strength and fatigue crack growth rates in situations where the assumptions of linear elasticity are valid. In this work, the SIF was obtained for plates with adhesive and riveted reinforcements, based on the finite element method (FEM) using quarterpoint elements through simulations carried out in the ABAQUS software. Forces in the rivet were calculated for a crack with riveted and evenly spaced stringers. The complete results presented are compared with values found in the literature through graphs. The results show that the stress intensity factor for the hardened sheet is significantly lower than for an un-hardened sheet for both studied stiffener cases.
