This document specifies the conditions for determination of the inter-laminar shear strength of ceramic matrix
composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2 000 °C under a vacuum, or a
gas atmosphere, which is inert to the material under test, by loading of notched specimens in compression.
NOTE 1 The use of a vacuum or a gas atmosphere is aimed at avoiding changes of the material to be tested due to
chemical reaction with its environment during the test.
This document applies to all ceramic matrix composites with continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional
(1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < x < 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.
NOTE 2 Care should be exercised in interpreting the results of the test method to obtain absolute values of the interlaminar
shear strength of ceramic matrix composites for design purposes.
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Bedingungen zur Bestimmung der interlaminaren Scherfestikgeit von endlosfaserverstärkten Verbundwerkstoffen mit keramischer Matrix bei Temperaturen bis 2000 °C im Vakuum oder in einer gegenüber dem zu prüfenden Werkstoff inerten Gasatmosphäre durch Druckbeanspruchung von gekerbten Proben fest.
