Comparing the 7 defect cases to the previous 5 defect cases, it appears that the presence of 7 defects has a slightly greater impact on the material's behavior than the presence of 5 defects. This is evident in the fact that, for the same toughness values, the material is more likely to experience deflection (represented by a 1 in the table) when there are 7 defects present as compared to when there are 5 defects present.
