ASTM C1358 Standard Test Method for Continuous Fiber Reinforced Advanced Ceramics with Solid Rectangular Section Test Specimens at Ambient Temperatures

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance service within the scope of ASTM C1358 standard. This test method covers the determination of compressive strength, including stress-strain behavior, under monotonic uniaxial loading of advanced ceramics with continuous fiber reinforcement at ambient temperatures.

This test method considers, but is not limited to, a variety of suggested test specimen geometries, as listed in the appendices. In addition, test specimen manufacturing methods, test modes (force, displacement or strain control), test rates (force ratio, stress ratio, displacement ratio or strain ratio), allowable bending, and data collection and reporting procedures are covered.

Compressive strength as used in this test method means compressive strength obtained under monotonic uniaxial loading; where monotonic means a continuous uninterrupted test rate with no return from test start to final break.

This test method is primarily applicable to advanced ceramic matrix composites with continuous fiber reinforcement: unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (3D) or other multidirectional reinforcements. In addition, this test method can also be used with 1D, 2D, 3D and other versatile continuous fiber reinforced glass (amorphous) matrix composites.

This test method does not directly address discontinuous fiber-reinforced, hair-reinforced, or particle-reinforced ceramics, although the test methods detailed here are equally applicable to these composites.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
