2、f last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method determines the open-hole(notched)tensile strength of continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic matrixcomposite
3、(CMC)test specimens with a single through-hole ofdefined diameter(either 6 mm or 3 mm).The open-hole tensile(OHT)test method determines the effect of the single through-hole on the tensile strength and stress response of continuousfiber-reinforced CMCs at ambient temperature.The OHTstrength can be c
4、ompared to the tensile strength of an un-notched test specimen to determine the effect of the definedopen hole on the tensile strength and the notch sensitivity of theCMC material.If a material is notch sensitive,then the OHTstrength of a material varies with the size of the through-hole.Commonly,la
5、rger holes introduce larger stress concentrationsand reduce the OHT strength.1.2 This test method defines two baseline OHT test speci-men geometries and a test procedure,based on Test MethodsC1275 and D5766/D5766M.A flat,straight-sided ceramiccomposite test specimen with a defined laminate fiber arc
