Quasi-Static Out-of-Plane Compression of Hollow Integrated Woven Textile Sandwich Composites

Abstract:

In order to investigate the anti-crush properties and the corresponding deformation mechanism of hollow integrated woven textile sandwich composites (IWTSCs), the quasi-static out-of-plane compression experiments are carried out. A set of typical deformation curves with a relative stable deformation plateau are obtained. The coupled compression-shear deformation and the ductile failure mechanism of IWTSC is discussed. Combining with qualitative analysis, comparisons between three kinds of IWTSC panels with piles of different density and thickness reveal the key to design a ductile IWTSC.
