BS EN 658-5:2002

This standard BS EN 658-5:2002 Advanced technical ceramics. Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at room temperature is classified in these ICS categories:

• 81.060.30 Advanced ceramics

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.
