A different approach to generating the fibrogram from fiber-length-array data - Part I: Theory

Two theories of generating the fibrogram from fiber-length-array data are presented, The first calculates a fiber-length distribution by number, which is integrated twice from the longest to the shortest length to obtain the fibrogram, The second method assumes a random catching and holding of fibers within each of the length groups, thereby generating a triangular distribution by relative weight or a fibrogram for each length group, These triangular distributions are summed by using the principle of superposition to generate the fibrogram of the total sample.
