Advanced technical ceramics - Ceramic composites - Mechanical properties at ambient temperature - Part 6: Determination of shear strength by double punch shearing (will replace ENV 658-6:1993)

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 double punch shearing a test specimen through a die. The method applies to unidirectionally and bidirectionally reinforced ceramic matrix composites, as well as to tridirectional composites with weak reinforcement in the third direction.
