Hydrostatic tests are applied to identical samples in order to predict the mechanical strength of the composite patching process, which is applied by hand-laying method and is carried out by wrapping a reinforcing fabric soaked in resin around the steel pipe, and this is both time-consuming and poses a risk during explosion. For this reason, designers have started to effectively apply numerical methods such as Finite Element Analysis and compliance with experimental data has been achieved. However, due to the parametric study performed in the Finite Element Method, solution times vary depending on the program, hardware, solution method, number of elements, etc. It may take longer due to the influence of variables. The current study aims to ensure that this numerical solution, which is made using energy release rate relations, is carried out analytically in a faster and more practical way. It was determined that the analytical results obtained were highly compatible with the numerical program data.}, number={2}, publisher={Dokuz Eylul University}, organization={This article has no conflicts of interest with any individual or institution.}
