โฆ Synopsis
Five characteristic ranges of glass strength are described wath respect to the sizes of its assocmted surface flaw. Particular attention is directed to the substantial difference in behavior between commercial and flawless glass fibers. It has been discovered in the latter case that a surface layer one order of magmtude thinner ~an normally detected is present, probably as a consequence of the drawing process. Distract differences m behavior of the two kinds of layers was noted by using ultra-violet hght absorption and hydrofluoric acid etching. Basic strength of the flawless glass fibers in vacuum can reach one million pounds per square inch.

A laminated composite may fail by various mechanisms: debonding, delamination, fiber fracture, matrix cracking, and fiber buckling. The fiber fracture possess the greatest threat the structure integrity. However, the progressive debonding often increases the load sustained by the fiber; therefore, i
