Another interesting phenomenon that occurs here is the gradual transition to the near-to but non-zero values of the Elastic Energy at the higher angle values, which is not present in the lower angle cases. In the lower angle cases, we see that the transition occurs in a seemingly in-stant transitional drop to the seemingly constant values. Based on the data in the table and the entire study, it appears that as the number of defects in the material increases from 5 to 15 and the angle increases from 0 • to 50 • , the interface's resistance to cracking decreases. This is indicated by the fact that the material is more likely to deflect rather than penetrate at a given toughness value when there are more defects present. Specifically, values larger than 0.10 toughness could be tested here, but they would yield results that are unrealistic, as the interface having a higher toughness than the surrounding materials (Made of a fracture toughness of 0.100), would be something not considered in this study. However, the fact that the their is deflection occurring at even a fully homogeneous media, means that the defects alone showcase a large influence on the direction of crack growth, and in such a way that this slightly deflected crack still is influenced to be preserved from material failure. Technically, without the interface having a commonly weakened region, which it maintains up until the 0.100 toughness value, the crack would be most probably to grow along the line of symmetry, and this is simply not the case when defects are involved here. This can truly speak to the weakening that the defects are providing here, showcasing a power result.
