heal.abstract	Cracked composite plates with spherical glass inclusions bonded inside a flexible matrix made of an epoxy polymer were subjected to impact. The effect of the inclusions on an edge crack propagating inside the plate was investigated, as well as the interaction of two skew-parallel edge cracks propagating in the same composite plates. It was found that generally the inclusions repel the cracks in both cases studied, and they are responsible for the bifurcations of the propagating cracks. A crack arrest phenomenon also appeared at the neighborhood of inclusions, which was followed by a subsequent emission backwards of Rayleigh waves.	en
