Crack pattern in each specimen: (a) a-1 (crack initiation); (b) a-2 (crack development); (c) a-3 (complete fracture); (d) b-1 (adhesion failure on the external surface); (e) b-2 (development of inner surface detachment); (f) b-3 (complete separation); (g) c-1 (crack initiation); (h) c-2 (crack development); (i) c-3 (complete fracture); (j) d-1 (crack initiation); (k) d-2 (crack development); (l) d-3 (complete fracture).
