Microwave Assisted Manufacturing and Repair of Carbon Reinforced Nanocomposites

Figure 6

Inspection of crack propagation length after DCB testing of as-fabricated composites: (a) optical microscopy of sample, (b) CT analysis of Sample 3, (c) CT analysis of Sample 2, and (d) CT analysis of Sample 1. Lengths of cracks correspond to crosshead displacement and crack deflection is clearly visible.
