DIN EN 658-2:2003-03

This document specifies the conditions for determination of compression properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement at ambient temperature. This standard applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < × < 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement. Two cases are distinguished: compression between platens; compression using grips.
