Advanced technical ceramics - Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at room temperature - Part 2: Determination of compression properties EN 658-2:2002

Scope

This part of EN 658 specifies the conditions for determination of compression properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement at ambient temperature. This standard applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2< x < 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement. Two cases are distinguished: - compression between platens; - compression using grips.
