Fig. 12 Evolution of the transverse stress σ and of the σ c -sensitivity of σ versus the applied
transverse strain for the 406-fiber problem shown in Fig. 11
Fig. 13 Evolution of the sensitivities of the transverse stress σ with respect to the critical
displacement jumps δ ci for the trilinear cohesive law versus the applied transverse strain for the
406-fiber problem
The sensitivity of the transverse stress with respect to δ c1 is initially negative
due to the increased cohesive compliance of the interfaces, as illustrated in Fig. 10b.
During the failure events, the δ c1 -sensitivity becomes positive due to the delayed
failure response. The sensitivities with respect to δ c2 and δ c3 initially vanish
