Abstract

A new derivation of the scale effect equation for polymer fibers is proposed. The equation is: σ ∼ σAL −β, where σ is the average strength of the fiber; L is the length of the fiber; A and β are coefficients. The equation was obtained from the general premises of scale effect theory without indication of the concrete form of the probability function F(S).
