Abstract :
The tensile strength characteristics of fibre ribbon were evaluated theoretically and experimentally. The strength of N-fibre ribbon can be predicted by multiplying that of individual fibre by N1¿1m (where m is the Weibull distribution constant), when the strength distribution of the component fibre is given.
