fibers63: Strength of 63 Carbon Fibers at 10 mm Gauge Length

Description

Measurements of tensile strength (in gigapascals, GPa) for 63 single carbon fibers tested at a gauge length of 10 mm. These data were originally reported by Bader and Priest (1982) in their study of fibre and bundle strength in hybrid composites.

Usage

fibers63

Value

An object of class "numeric".

The vector consists of 63 observed tensile strength measurements (in gigapascals), each corresponding to an individual carbon fiber tested at a gauge length of 10 mm. Each value represents the breaking strength of a single fiber specimen. The dataset is commonly used in materials science and reliability engineering for modeling strength distributions, assessing variability, and fitting parametric lifetime or strength models.

Format

A numeric vector of length 63 containing tensile strength measurements (in GPa).

Details

The dataset contains tensile strength values for individual carbon fibers cut to a gauge length of 10 mm. This dataset has been used extensively in materials science and reliability studies for modeling strength distributions and assessing variability in carbon fiber performance.

The data originate from the same experimental study that produced several related carbon-fiber datasets (e.g., fibers65, fibers69).
