The varied breaking strength of silica fiber can be attributed to the distribution in flaw severity along the fiber length. Micro-cracks can be inherent to the glass itself or a result of the manufacturing process and handling of the fiber. Fiber strength also degrades with time due to fatigue as a result of crack growth accelerated by interaction with moisture.|The varied breaking strength of silica fiber can be attributed to the distribution in flaw severity along the fiber length.
