ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing the stress in a fiber by varying the curvature of a fiber disposed on a cylindrical surface, so that the first end of the fiber is clamped to the cylindrical surface and the second end of the fiber is moveably fastened to the cylindrical surface. The method extends the fiber around a portion of the cylinder, provides a fastening element so as to control the location of the second end of the fiber on the cylindrical surface and adjusts the curvature of the fiber so that the total curvature of the fiber remains substantially constant over the entire length of the fiber.
