BS EN 12289 is a European Standard that specifies the conditions for the determination of the in-plane shear properties. These conditions are for ambient temperatures of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement.
BS EN 12289 applies to ceramic matrix composites with continuous fibre reinforcement, bidirectional (2D) and tri-directional (xD, with 2 < x < 3).
BS EN 12289 on determining the shear properties of ceramics is useful for:
Advanced technical ceramics are used in critical applications for their excellent mechanical properties. One of the properties is its shear strength. This property is important as it is mainly leveraged for its applications in structural parts. Shear properties are those properties that resist the internal forces and stresses, hence increasing the safety and durability of ceramics. Determining and testing these properties are important considering their application.
BS EN 12289 provides you with terms, definitions and symbols that depict a user-friendly idea of ceramics. The tests mentioned in BS EN 12289 help users in determining the in-plane shear properties of ceramics ensuring their reliability. BS EN 12289 also assures that safety is given utmost importance while dealing with advanced technical ceramics considering their critical applications. The guidelines in BS EN 12289 enable you to provide a superior quality product to your customers.
