Which risk increases significantly when a composite aircraft wing experiences microcracking?

A)Rapid structural disbond or delamination
B)Increased resistance to thermal expansion
C)Enhanced fuel efficiency at high speed
D)Improved damping of mechanical vibrations

💡 Explanation

Microcracking causes accelerated crack propagation because the mechanism of **stress concentration** at crack tips weakens intermolecular bonds; therefore, disbond occurs rather than maintaining structural integrity due to redistributed stress.
