FIGURE 13. (a) The photon emission for a glass fiber/epoxy composite where the fibers debond inside the epoxy matrix, yielding visible photons detected with a photomultiplier. The arrow indicates where the entire sample failed, (b) The same type of data from debonding occurring in a single fiber specimen. Again, the arrow indicates when the entire sample fractured.
