Effect of Bucking on the Mechanical Properties of Honeycomb Sandwich Structure

Abstract:

Static compression test on the Honeycomb sandwich structure with surface core defect carry out in this paper. The specimen divided into four groups, one had no defect, one had circle defect, the other two groups had rectangular defect in different direction. In the process of loading the strain gauge which located on the specimen surface in each group record the strain transformation of the specimen surface. Through the Static load test on the fatigue testing machine, fracture load of each specimen was record. According to the data, how the size and shape of the defect influence the compression static strength of Honeycomb sandwich was discussed, and inspecting defects direction how to affect the structural static strength by means of theoretical analysis and data fitting, meanwhile the shape of the defects in structure how to effect buckling was discussed too.
