Abstract
Natural fibers are considered as the most ecological material, but their mechanical properties widely vary from one fiber to another. To use natural fibers for component of a structural material, the wide scatter in tensile strength must be reduced to a certain level. This research aims to develop a method that can reduce the wide scatter in tensile strength of natural fibers. Pre-screening test was proposed here for one of the methods and the effectiveness was examined using experimental results on tensile strength of virgin and surviving fibers after the pre-screening test. It was indicated that three-parameter lognormal distribution could well characterize the experimental results, and the threshold tensile strength in three-parameter lognormal distribution could be related to allowable stress for strength design.
