Cross-sectional views and 3D images obtained with CT of series S1–S4 specimens in Variants 0 and 90. Colored areas on 3D images indicate damages caused by delaminations and cracks in the matrix. Defects marked on the images: springback damage (i), core and FRP delaminations (ii), matrix cracks in FRP layers in planes parallel to the bending axis (iii), and matrix cracks in planes perpendicular to the bending axis (iv).
