Abstract :
Using the “Statistical Theory of Fracture for Brittle Materials” and performing tests for long lengths of fibers at distinct proof stresses and different velocities, the performance of a high velocity test machine and detected level of damage in the fiber samples, are assessed. To confirm the damage and to know the strength of the fiber samples after proof tests, tensile tests were performed
