An experimental and numerical assessment of DCB tests on glass/polyester curved beams cut out from pipes

The aim of this work is to define a suitable procedure in order to measure the interlaminar fracture toughness of circumferential specimens cut out from ready-to-use glass reinforced polymer (GRP) pipes made by centrifugal casting. Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) tests were performed to assess the crit...
