7a. Examples of the two types of propagated diffuse damage, contained and extended, are shown under filters for each fluorescent stain as well as the composite image (alizarin=red, calcein=green). 7b. No significant differences by propagation type or age group were seen among diffuse damage incidents. 7c. Measurements of the initial extended diffuse damage area after static loading and final extended damage area after cyclic loading showed significant increases in the younger group compared to the older group. The final extended damage area did not exceed the damage area for contained damage in either age group. Bars represent significant differences.
