“…are used to discretize the crack surface. Material #1 is the glass epoxy with elastic properties E 1 = 48.26 GPa, E 2 = 17.24 GPa, G 12 = 6.89 GPa, and 12 = 0.29 [39]; material #2 is a graphite epoxy with elastic properties E 1 = 114.8 GPa, E 2 = 11.7 GPa, G 12 = 9.66 GPa, and 12 = 0.21 [45]. The angles 1 and 2 , shown in Figure 8, are the anisotropic orientation angles of materials #1 and #2 with respect to the horizontal direction, respectively.…”
