This document describes the methods for the determination of void and fibre with specific
orientation contents in a polished cross section of continuous fibre-reinforced ceramic
matrix composites by image analysis.
The methods apply to all ceramic matrix composites with continuous fibre reinforcement:
bidirectional (2D) and tridirectional (3D).
The methods also apply to carbon-fibre-reinforced carbon matrix composites (also known
as: carbon/carbon or C/C).
NOTE The result obtained by the method is not volume content but area content.
