Predicting Failure of Optical Glass Fibers.

Abstract

Factors that affect failure predictions of optical glass fibers in service were studied. These factors include the effect of various polymeric coatings on the fatigue behavior, dependency of long term fatigue predictions on the form of the subcritical crack velocity, and prediction of long-length strengths from strength data of short-length specimens.
