Breaking strength distribution of basalt filaments
Abstract
This paper presents the results of an experimental analysis of the breaking strength distribution of basalt filaments. It outlines the composition and basic physical characteristics of glass and basalt fibres, and provides a statistical analysis of the fracture of fibres. The paper details the methodology and findings of the experiment, concluding, in particular, that the brittle fracture of basalt filaments is probably due to volume defects and can be described by the three parameter Weibull distribution.
