Interpretation of HVI Bundle Tensile Properties Through Single Fiber Test Results - Effects of Fiber Slack

Moon W. Suh, Xiaoliang Cui, and Preston E. Sasser


 
ABSTRACT

The effects of fiber slack on bundle tensile properties are investigated through computer simulation. The results have shown that the amount of fiber crimps in a bundle affects the bundle breaking elongation without altering the bundle breaking strength, while the standard deviation of fiber crimps in a bundle affects the bundle breaking strength but not the bundle breaking elongation. The L(e)/e curve of a bundle can be used as an indicator of the existence of fiber slack in a bundle. The results from the computer simulation have been compared with that from HVI tensile tests.
