    Contrainte interlaminaire/intralaminaire; interlaminar/intralaminar stress

    Stress between two consecutive folds (interlaminar) or within a fold (intralaminar).

    Courbe R (courbe de résistance) ; R curve (resistance curve)

    Generally increasing curve of crack toughness. This increase in toughness is due to the creation of the FPZ.

    Cusps (horns); cusps

    The term "cusps" is generally used directly to designate the wave-like or horn-shaped asperities created on a Mode II fracture surface.

    Delamination

    Cracking between two consecutive plies in a composite laminate.
