Abstract

In a composite material part having a ceramic matrix and including a fibrous reinforcement which is densified by a matrix consisting of a plurality of ceramic layers having a crack-diverting matrix interphase positioned between two adjacent ceramic matrix layers, the interphase includes a first phase made of a material capable of promoting the diversion of a crack reaching the interphase according to a first propagation mode in the transverse direction through one of the two ceramic matrix layers adjacent to the interphase, such that the propagation of the crack continues according to a second propagation mode along the interphase, and a second phase consisting of discrete contact pads that are distributed within the interphase and capable of promoting the diversion of the crack that propagates along the interphase according to the second propagation mode, such that the propagation of the crack is diverted and continues according to the first propagation mode through the other ceramic matrix layer that is adjacent to the interphase.
