Abstract
A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) component includes a plurality of CMC plies stacked together to form a laminate structure. First and second CMC plies of the laminate structure are formed from a CMC material reinforced with a fiber material and have first and second fiber orientations, respectively. The first and second fiber orientations are arranged in a cross-ply pattern in a plane of the laminate structure. The laminate structure includes at least one edge. The CMC component further includes at least one end cap ply covering at least a portion of the at least one edge of the laminate structure. The end cap ply is formed of the CMC material reinforced with the fiber material having a third fiber orientation. Further, at least a portion of a plane of the at least one end cap ply is perpendicular to the plane of the laminate structure.
