| Abstract |
| A statistical analysis of tensile strength data of optical fibres in the
gauge length varying from 0.6 m to 20 m has been made. The analysis
shows that in most cases the data can be described by the beta distribution
with lower and higher strength portion of the population attributed
to extrinsic and intrinsic factors respectively. A modification
to the Weibull type of flaw distribution has also been suggested for
analysing the strength distribution. The function provides upper and
lower strength limits and is characterized by two shape and two
location parameters. The long length strengths predicted from this
fnnction are in close agreement with the experimental data. |
