Double mandrel: a modified technique for studying static fatigue on optical fibres

Abstract
Static fatigue failure data for optical fibres are obtained with a new measuring method. A fibre is wound around two rods of different diameter and each winding is fixed separately near the thicker one. Times of failure of the separate windings are measured. This new method to obtain static fatigue data will be demonstrated on mandrels stored in different environments.
