Knot strength (processability)<br />

Relative knot strength = knot efficiency = Knot strength relative to the normal<br />

tensile strength<br />

an indication of the damage tolerance and local deformation tolerance<br />

Results<br />

Knot strength<br />

Steel <strong>fibre</strong> much better<br />

performance than aramid, carbon<br />

and glass (relative knot strength)<br />

Yarns and individual <strong>fibre</strong>s have<br />

comparable relative knot strength<br />

Annealed <strong>steel</strong> <strong>fibre</strong>s: excellent<br />

relative knot strength!<br />
