(a–c) The lateral surface of the compressed sample after plastic deformation of 6% (the parallel scratches were added intentionally along the loading direction before the test, marked with black dashed lines to guide the eye). (d–f) The schematic diagrams showing the origination of cracks during compressive deformation, the distorted colored lines are to guide the eye on the shear deformation near the reinforcements (the lines were straight before deformation), the grey circles represent large particles of glassy reinforcement and the dashed circles indicate their position before deformation, the black area represents the cracks, τ is the shear stress and F is the loading force.
