ENV 1007-5:1998

Advanced technical ceramics - Ceramic composites - Methods of test for reinforcements - Part 5: Determination of distribution of tensile strength and of tensile strain to failure of filaments within a multifilament tow at ambient temperature ENV 1007-5:1998

Scope

This part of ENV 1007 specifies the conditions for the determination of the distribution of strength and rupture strain of ceramic filaments within a multifilament tow at room temperature by performing a single tensile test on a multifilament tow. This prestandard applies to tows of continuous ceramic filaments which are assumed to act freely and idependently under loading, and behave linearly elastic up to failure.
