fibers65: Strength of 65 Carbon Fibers at 50 mm Gauge Length

Description

Tensile strength measurements (in gigapascals, GPa) for 65 carbon fibers tested under tension at a gauge length of 50 mm. These data were originally reported by Bader and Priest (1982) in their foundational study on fibre and bundle strength in hybrid composites.

Usage

fibers65

Value

An object of class "numeric".

The vector contains 65 observed tensile strength measurements (in gigapascals) of individual carbon fibers tested at a gauge length of 50 mm. Each element represents the breaking strength of a single fiber specimen. The dataset is typically used as input for statistical modeling, reliability analysis, and lifetime or strength distribution studies in composite materials research.

Format

A numeric vector of length 65 containing tensile strength values (in GPa).

Details

The fibers were tested at a gauge length of 50 mm to study the variability of carbon fiber strength under controlled conditions. This dataset is frequently used in reliability analysis, composite material modeling, and strength distribution studies. It is one of several datasets originating from the Bader and Priest (1982) carbon-fiber experiments.
