The weakest link in traditional sandwich beams constructed of carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP) honeycomb core is arguably the bonded face sheet-core interface. This has …

Nowadays, there has been an increasing interest in the study of cellular structures under
non-ideal loading situation. In this study, comprehensive investigations of honeycomb …

Analysis of the compliance and energy release rate of the sandwich double cantilever beam
(DCB) specimen is presented. It is assumed that there is a starter crack at the upper …

This article details a procedure for sizing single cantilever beam (SCB) test specimens that
are used to characterize facesheet–core debonding in sandwich structure. The …

The cohesive element approach is proposed as a tool for simulating delamination
propagation between a facesheet and a core in a honeycomb core composite panel. To …

Interfacial toughness and toughening mechanisms of a sandwich beam, consisting of an
aluminum foam covered with two carbon-fiber/epoxy composite surface layers, are …

Polymeric honeycombs have always enticed researchers due to their lightweight, high
stiffness-to-weight ratio, and well developed energy absorption characteristics, owing which …
