Abstract

The defect size distribution of the monofilament in which several types of defects coexist, was theoretically derived using the competing risk theory and the fracture location theory. The defect size distribution indicated a similar form of the multimodal Weibull distribution. This was because the defect size had the one-to-one correspondence to the fracture stress. To apply this theory in practice, we conducted tensile tests of PAN-based carbon fibers. Observed defect sizes of PAN-based carbon fibers coincided with the theoretical distribution as a first approximation.
