The stacking sequence for the optimal first failure load need not have the maximum ultimate load.
When dealing with composite laminate bonded to pre-existing members (masonry, concrete, metal, wood), the performance at collapse of the adhesion is substantially given by two features: the failure load and optimal bonding length.
As no static failure load data were available, the failure load of the antero-superiorly loaded specimens was estimated to be between the vertical failure load (7,273 N) and the anterior failure load (1,728 N).
Similarly, the tensile failure load and normalized failure load demonstrated significant maturational increases.
Their failure load are then predicted theoretically.

Table 3 Specimen's cracking load, failure load, and deflection.
Then the widening of suture after cyclic loading, the ultimate failure load, the stiffness during load-to-failure test, and the mode of failure were documented.
