Abstract
Weibull parameters extracted from tests of 75 mm Kevlar bundles by Fourier deconvolution produced average Weibull parameters of ma 22:2 and 10a 0:0284; which indicate that filament interactions concentrated the failures over a smaller range of strain. A bundle with filaments varying from 75 to 76.1 mm in length failed with a load‐displacement energy 14% higher than found with uniform filament length. Weibull parameters of ma 12:3 and 10a 0:0305 indicate that filament interactions were reduced and parameters corresponding to single filament testing were obtained rapidly. q 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
