Abstract: | The distribution of fiber or polymer lengths during breakage is considered. It is shown that under certain conditions the distribution of lengths is given by a self-preserving form which is independent of the initial distribution and is not explicitly dependent on time. Some self-preserving distributions are calculated. The theory is compared with an experiment on the breakage of glass fibres caused by milling. |
