Summary :

Tensile strength of heavy metal fluoride glass fibers was investigated. The effect of proof testing on the fiber strength was evaluated theoretically and experimentally. It was found that the strength distribution of the fluoride fiber after proof testing can be predicted, based on the slow-crack growth model. This result enables to extend the cable design for silica fibers to that for fluoride fibers to assure long-term reliability.
