Subramanian, S. Saunders] The tensile strength distribution of Fortafil-3 carbon fibres of circular cross-section has been investigated at different gauge lengths. The unimodal Weibull, unimodal lognormal and bimodal lognormal models were tested. Estimating the model parameters by the method of maximum likelihood, and testing each model by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit statistic at prescribed levels of significance, it is found that the data for untreated unsized fibres fit a bimodal lognormal model best. The proportions of the low and high strength populations,p andq, respectively, did not show any well-defined trend with gauge length and had average values close to 0.5. But the lognormal mean for each population showed an increasing trend with decreasing gauge length. It is inferred thatp andq are, respectively, related to the presence of surface flaws and internal defects, both of which probably have the same structural origin. After electrodeposition of titanium di (dioctyl pyrophosphate) oxyacetate (TDPO), the fibre strength was still best approximated by a bimodal lognormal distribution. But the weighting factorp for the weak population was reduced markedly, with a corresponding increase ofq, indicating the healing of surface flaws during electrodeposition of a protective layer of TDPO. Furthermore, in contrast to the observations with untreated fibres, the lognormal means for both the low and high strength populations of the electrocoated fibres were essentially unchanged with gauge length. Changes were also indicated in the number and severity of surface flaws, caused by concurrent electrochemical processes.
