“…Damage growth is characterized by the resistance curve (R-curve), which represents the evolution of the critical strain energy release rate as a function of the macroscopic crack length. There are different specimens geometries to induce stable crack growth and to measure the translaminar fracture toughness: Compact Tension (CT) and Compact Compression (CC) [3][4][5][6]8,[10][11]14,[16][17][19][20], three-/four-point bending [7,9,12,15,19] and "Eccentrically loaded Single-Edge-notch Tensile" (ESET) [18,[22][23].…”
