The pipes with surface crack which have several notch-aspect ratios ale and notch-to-thickness ratios a/t in the axial direction were exposed to open-ended internal pressure. Critical stress intensity factors were determined experimentally for several winding angles by tensile tests with center notched ring specimens. The strength values of pipes with surface cracks are compared with internal pressure test results and theoretical results.en10.1016/S1359-8368(00)00037-8info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesspolymer-matrix composites (PMCs)strengthfilament windingsurface crackArticle322131138Q1WOS:000167418100005Q1
