Keywords: Tyranno fiber, gauge length, Weibull function, size effect

The objective of this study is to see if the Weibull parameter is dependent on the gauge length on the case of Tyranno ZMI. We have conducted single fiber tensile tests on several gauge lengths. The results showed the Weibull parameters of the fiber are dependent on the gauge length.
