Reliability engineers describe component reliability in terms of a failure rate, the rate at which devices fail over time. Expressing fiber mechanical reliability by using this method adds insight into the effects of in-service stresses, fiber mechanical parameters, and proof-test conditions on the frequency of failures that can be expected in a fiber population and how that frequency varies over time.
