The low interlaminar tensile (ILT) strength of ceramic composites with two-dimensional fiber architectures presents serious challenges in the design of thermostructural components. Existing protocols for measuring ILT strength remain contentious because of the presence of free edges. The principal objective of the present study is to introduce a modified test that eliminates machined edges (and associated...
