In the picture of the low damage level lamina, both in the loaded side (L-a) and in the<br />

back side (L-b) the indentation is barely visible by the naked eye. The medium level damage<br />

laminas present a slightly larger mark on the loaded side (M-a) and some fibre breakage with<br />

matrix leakage on the back side (M-b). Finally the highly damaged lamina pictures (H-a) and<br />

(H-b) show fibre failure on both sides.<br />

Figure 24. Fibres failure on the loaded surface for the Low load level: fractures on fibres are evidenced<br />

by the arrows.<br />

Figure 25. Tensile fibre failure on the back surface for the Medium load level: fracture on one fibre is<br />

evidenced by the arrows.
