Abstract
In this thesis, an instrument is designed and constructed for the purpose of measuring the mechanical properties of single fibers. The instrument is intended to provide high throughput measurement of single fiber geometric properties, tensile properties, elastic properties, surface roughness properties, friction properties, bending properties, and torsion properties. The instrument is capable of performing all of these mechanical measurements automatically on a large number of sample fibers which are stored in the instrument during testing.
