Tensile Property Evaluation of Polycrystalline Alumina Filaments and Their Composites.
Abstract
The tensile properties of polycrystalline alumina filaments (DuPont Fiber FB) were experimentally measured and statistically evaluated for several different gage lengths (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10 inches). Using a two-parameter Weibull distribution function to describe the in situ filament failure stresses, a statistical failure mode analysis for composites gave excellent agreement between theoretical predictions and published tensile strength data on cast Fiber FP/aluminum and Fiber FP/magnesium.
