Behavior of Sandwich Composites under Edgewise and Flatwise Compression; Effect of Variation of Fibre Architecture and Core Density
Abstract: The present paper is focused on the fabrication of foam–cored sandwich composites using manual hand layup technique and testing under in-plane compression. The sandwich construction comprises of polyurethane foams of five varied densities with E-glass fibre in vinylester resin as face sheets. Four different varieties of E-glass fibre are used. As compression properties are of critical importance during the design of lightweight structures, an attempt is made to study the …
