Abstract A proper description of the fibre fragmentation test becomes more and more important because of the continual development of new types of fibres, an example being the oxide composite fibres tested in the present work. An attempt at a strict formulation of the problem involved in the description of the fibre fragmentation test is presented. It takes into account a distortion of fibre strength distribution function caused by the fibre breakage process occurring under increasing external load. The fibre strength distribution function is determined by a distribution function of defects on a fibre as well as the distribution function of the defect strength. The formulation of the problem considered results in a system of differential equations which is solved assuming some simplifications. The solution leads to a choice of a particular set of statistical fibre strength characteristics. The procedure is applied to oxide composite fibres developed for a high temperature use.
