A topological approach to understanding crack initiation and propagation in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites under an opening load by Mayrene Uy, Daiki Kido, Masao Kimura

“…Topological data analysis (TDA), specifically persistent homology (PH) and its distance metric, the p-Wasserstein distance ( $${\hbox {W}_{p}}$$ ), is employed to quantitatively describe the distinct three-dimensional (3D) shapes of cracks in samples with “thin” and “thick” resin regions. The 3D crack shapes correspond to different cracking modes, with “thin” resin regions displaying brittle behavior and “thick” regions exhibiting more ductile characteristics. …”
