Low Velocity Impact Investigations of Sandwich Panels with Different Cores

  • Conference paper
Sandwich Structures 7: Advancing with Sandwich Structures and Materials

Abstract

The behaviour of sandwich panels with different core structures after low velocity impact damage was investigated. The material properties are measured and the damage extensions are detected by ultra sonic testing. To assess the strength of the damaged sandwich structures, the panels are investigated in 4-point-bending tests until failure.
