Investigation on Impact Performance of Light-Weight Composite Honeycomb Sandwich Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the relationship between the impact performances of light-weight honeycomb sandwich composite panels with design parameters like panel cores and face’s thicknesses and materials, honeycomb foil thickness and cell size etc. are experimentally evaluated through the spindle falling tests. Analytical approaches are also carried out to confirm the validity of the experiments based on 3D modeling and using ANSYS LS-DYNA software. Comparisons of the experimental and analytical results are reported in this study.
