Test specimens are composed of six antisymmetric layers with (+/- 55 degrees)(3) winding angles. Tests have been performed at seven different crack angles: 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, 45 degrees, 75 degrees, and 90 degrees, with crack-to-thickness ratio of a/t = 0.50. The burst strengths of the specimens were determined, and the dependence of the burst strength on the crack angle was examined.en10.1016/j.compstruct.2009.07.027info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGRP pipeInclined surface crackBurst strengthInternal pressureArticle92182187Q1WOS:000271563100020Q1
