Top: The schematic intergranular crack propagations at the alumina cubes/epoxy interfaces in the cubic (a.), monoclinic (b.), and triclinic (c.) modular composites show an increase of the crack lengths due to 1D crack deflection in monoclinic and 2D crack deflection in the triclinic structures. Middle: SEM‐images of the cubic (a.), monoclinic (b.) and triclinic (c.) fracture surface morphologies, revealing 1D and 2D pull‐out effects during crack propagation in monoclinic and triclinic assembly. Bottom: 3D‐reconstructed μCT scans showing the cubic (a.), monoclinic (b.), and triclinic (c.) assembled structures. Photo Credits to Jonas Biggemann, Martin Stumpf and Tobias Fey.
