Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) — Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at elevated temperature — Determination of in-plane shear strength by the asymmetric four-point bending test

Apstrakt

This document specifies a method for the determination of in-plane shear strength of continuous fibre-reinforced ceramic composites at elevated temperature in air or inert atmosphere by the asymmetric four-point bending test on double-edge notched specimens. The shear strength in plane (1,2) can be evaluated, where direction 1 is that of the greater fraction of reinforcement and direction 2 is perpendicular to direction 1. Methods for test piece fabrication, testing modes and rates (load or displacement rate), data collection and reporting procedures are addressed.
This document applies to all ceramic matrix composites with continuous fibre-reinforcement: unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D) and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < x ≤ 3).
This document is for material development, material comparison, quality assurance, characterization, reliability and design data generation.
