Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics). Test method for compressive behaviour of continuous fibre-reinforced composites at room temperature. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This International Standard describes procedures for determination of the compressive behaviour of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement at room temperature. This method applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, uni-directional (1D), bi-directional (2D) and tri-directional (xD, with 2 < x ⩽ 3), tested along one principal axis of reinforcement. This method may also be applied to carbon-fibre-reinforced carbon matrix composites (also known as: carbon/carbon or C/C). Two cases of testing are distinguished: compression between platens and compression using grips.
