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 />
