These figures indicate an interesting result: while deflection occurs at the higher interface toughnesses with the higher angle configurations, the Elastic Energy capacity of the higher angle configurations is much lower. This may have relation to the visually easier growth through the interface for the 45 • and 50 • configurations compared to the lower angle values. This is a rather counter intuitive result, which does not agree with our previous study in non-angled interface regimes. A higher likelihood of deflection is apparent within various figures aforementioned, however the Energy vs. Time here is showcasing that in many other scenarios, the lower values of θ actually yield more deflection cases. This must be due to the time-until-penetration, in which the higher values of θ yield quicker deflection or penetration results, compared to the fatigued growth of the crack in the lower values of θ such as 2.5 • Overall, the Total Energy plot carries a similar phenomenon as well. The lower angle variations seemingly have a much larger peak than the higher angle variations, leading us to believe that the higher angle variations overall do not have the very large energy capacity.
