Zusammenfassung:A component formed of a three-dimensional ceramic matrix composite material (CMC) is provided. The component includes a first wall and a second wall that intersects the first wall at an angle such that the intersection forms a T-joint. The component also includes a continuous tensioning fiber attached between the first wall and the second wall having a portion spanning the T-join so that the tensioning fiber remains in tension under internal pressure loading to provide strength while reducing stress at the T-joint. The tensioning fiber, the first wall, and the second wall together form the component in the CMC material.
