“…The transverse samples, instead, showed the opposite behavior, presenting a rectangular section with a straight crack front but with a curved propagation path. The longitudinal samples, due to the filament winding production process, presented a higher layup angle compared to the longitudinal samples, which affected the calculated G Ic value [14,17,18]. The increase in the winding angle has also a considerable effect on the scatter of the evaluated value of G Ic as reported by Davies et al [14].…”
