Young's modulus of fiber

May 08, 2005 1 Replies

Hello, I'm looking for value of Young's modulus of optical fiber glass. It's typical multimode fiber for telecommunications. Does anybody know it? I'll be very grateful...



Thanks Pawel Gasior


Hello, I believe the figure is 10.4 x 10(6) psi for silica and for borosilicate 9.8 x 10(6)Psi. Hope that helps Wayne.
