Abstract
Single fiber fragmentation test is one of the methods to evaluate strength of a fiber embedded in matrix resin. This method has two advantages; the Weibull parameter can be obtained from a few tests and an actual strength of the embedded fiber in practice can be obtained. This test evaluates relationship between the fiber strength and the fiber length. However, the fiber length is defined by the length of the gage length divided by the number of fragment points, and the fiber length is overestimated. Therefore, in the conventional evaluation, the fiber strength is not independent to interfacial strength and test speed. To assume the exact fiber length, an interfacial debonding length and a stress recovery length must be considered. In this study, the new corrected evaluation to generalize the fiber strength is suggested. To discuss the validity of the method, several fragmentation tests are performed under the condition of the various interfacial strength and the various test speed.
