Examination of the Tensile Strength of Graphite Fibers

Abstract

The Single Fiber Graphite Tester was developed to measure the failure load and fiber diameter of graphite fibers. Data have been taken on a number of commercially available fibers with the tester. These data have been examined in order to understand the dispersion in these properties and the correlation between them.
