Advanced technical ceramics - Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at room temperature - Part 5: Determination of interlaminar shear strength by short span bend test (three points) EN 658-5:2002

Publication date:   Jan 30, 2004

Scope

This part of EN 658 specifies the conditions for the determination of the interlaminar shear strength matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement at ambient temperature, by subjecting a test specimen to a short-span, three points, bend test. The method applies to unidirectionally and bidirectionally reinforced ceramic matrix composites, as well as to tridirectional composites with weak reinforcement in the third direction.
