Mullins effect characterisation of PLA-HAp composite. (a) Macroscopic strain evolution obtained by Deben loading rig at different loading cycles; (b) Strain evolution derived from WAXS patterns of the PLA amorphous peaks at different loading cycles; (d) Strain evolution interpreted from WAXS patterns of the HAp crystallite peaks at different loading cycles; (d) Strain evolution calculated from SAXS patterns of the PLA lamella structure at different loading cycles.
