Fig. 4.

Sum of normalized deformation gradient jumps for all three extensions for the simulated sample containing the inclusion with fiber alignment different from the bulk (μ_bulk = 20°, μ_inclution = 80°) (a) and for the radially aligned simulated sample with varied fiber alignment (d). Partitions, overlaid on sample geometry with prescribed fiber alignment indicated by vectors, identified inclusion (b) and radial symmetry (e), respectively. Modularity as a function of connections removed for both the simulated sample containing the inclusion (c) and the radially aligned simulated sample (f). Blue dots indicate values when a connection is removed, open red circles indicate when a community is formed, and the green star mark when the final community formed.
