This document specifies the conditions for determining the tensile properties (including tensile modulus, Poisson’s ratio, strength, strain at maximum force and fracture strain) of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement at room temperature. This document applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, including unidirectional (1D), bi-directional (2D), and multi-directional (xD, with x > 2), reinforcement, loaded along a principal axis of reinforcement.
