Abstract
The interlaminar shear strength of a two-dimensional Hi-Nicalon fiber-reinforced melt-infiltrated SiC ceramic matrix composite was evaluated using compression testing. The compression testing consisted of double-notched specimens. Results show that the interlaminar shear failure was induced in a region between two notches that are anti-symmetrically located on opposite sides of the specimen at an equal distance from the mid-plane.
