An experimental investigation has been conducted on the effects of gauge length on the tensile strength of SiC fibers. The results show that the overall strength distribution cannot be described solely in terms of the two-parameter Weibull function. The overall distribution is found to be consistent with two concurrent flaw populations, one of them being characteristic of the pristine fibers, and the other characteristic of the additional flaws introduced into the fiber during processing of the composite.
