Abstract
A statistical theory is proposed for the strength of glass fibers with allowance for surface defects of different types, and their distribution along the length of the fiber. A comparison with experimental data shows that the theory gives a good description of the strength distribution curves and the relation between the mean strength of the fiber and its length. The distribution of defects along the length of fibers obtained by the continuous draw-plate method is not purely random, this being probably associated with the nature of the manufacturing process.
