  • Abstract
    It is shown experimentally that the frozen-in stress of the fibre is relieved due to fusion joint now reverts to that of the preform with compressive surface stress of the fibre. Consequently, it is expected that the fatigue lifetime of the joint is greater than that of the rest of the fibre.
