A Comparison between a Composite Sandwich Bar with Polypropylene Honeycomb Core Reinforced with Steel Wire Mesh and Metallic Beams with Various Transversal Sections

Abstract:

In this paper we have build a new composite bar with polypropylene honeycomb core reinforced with steel wire mesh. We have loaded this bar in several variants and we have recorded the stress per unit mass values. Then, we have loaded various metallic beams in the same way and we record for them the stress per unit mass values. In the end, we will highlight the strength increase or decrease if we use the composite bar instead of the classical metallic beams.
