Annex A (informative) Schematic evolution of E

Describes the conditions for the determination of constant-amplitude of load or strain in uniaxial tension/tension or in uniaxial tension/compression cyclic fatigue properties of ceramic matrix composite materials (CMCs) with fibre reinforcement for temperature up to 2 000 degree C under vacuum or a gas atmosphere which is inert to the material under test.
