1 Scope
This CEN Technical Specification specifies a method to determine the fibre-matrix bonding characteristics of
ceramic matrix composite materials at room temperature, by the measurement of the interfacial frictional
shear stress obtained by cycled tension on mini-composites.

4.2 Method B
If crack saturation cannot be detected, tensile test shall be performed with unloading/reloading cycles with
increasing force amplitude. The area or the width of the hysteresis loops is directly related to the interfacial
frictional shear stress (see Figure 2).

5 Significance and use
Ceramic matrix composites display non-brittle behaviour under tensile loading conditions only when the
fibre/matrix bond is carefully designed. It is essential that the fibre matrix bond is not too strong, which would
cause the composite to be brittle. It should also not be too weak, which would cause the composite to be
unable to withstand high stresses. Interfaces must exhibit a certain resistance to cracking to allow, firstly,
matrix crack arrest and damage tolerance, and secondly, load transfers from the fibre to the matrix.
Characteristics of fibre/matrix interfaces are therefore of primary importance in composite engineering, in
composite evaluation and in prediction of behaviour and performance.
A mini-composite is a unidirectional composite reinforced with a bundle of parallel fibres. Mini-composites are
a simplification of composites. They contain the basic constituents of composites and their response under
load is not obscured by texture effects. They are thus used in the investigation of microstructure-property
relationships in textile composites and in the determination of interface characteristics.
The important characteristic in the mechanical beha
