Vein Distribution on the Deformation Behavior and Fracture Mechanisms of Typical Plant Leaves by Quasi In Situ Tensile Test under a Digital Microscope

Figure 7

Fracture growth in ((a-1)–(a-4)) sample 1, ((b-1)–(b-4)) sample 2, and ((c-1)–(c-4)) sample 3 with different vein distributions of C. indica leaves. The white arrows in (a-2), (b-2), and (c-2) show the crack initiation sites.
