New approach for studying failure mechanism is use of multispan-beam shear test, which puts some regions of specimen in almost pure shear and enables observation of location of initial failure and way in which damage propagates. Test stopped at any time, such as when first failure event occurs, for study of phenomenon or taking photographs of failure event. Individual plies studied easily with long-distance microscope or from photographs taken during test.
