12 What is CAI failure? Final failure occurs at the stage of throughthickness local buckling. Small ajustment of amage configurations by partial elamination growth occurs before unstable growth of whole amage into transverse irection. The energy release rate of multiple circular amage moel can be a measure of the final failure It enables the preiction of the failure loa to know the energy release rate as a function of applie loa an amage size. G(P )=G /7
