The fracture occurs in the fiberglass rod due to the stresses induced by the metal part of the endfitting that hold the insulating components. The stress distribution in the fiberglass rod depends strongly on the end fitting design. Generally stresses are highest near the end fitting edge. Some designs optimize the axial (a ), radial (a-) and transversal shear stresses by a jUdicious choi~e of geometrical parameters. A 45° fracture starts at the end interface where stresses are highest, towards the inside of the rod. Final rod be explained in terms of each composite's tics as determined in this work.
