Analysis of Physical and Mechanical Properties of A3003 Aluminum Honeycomb Core Sandwich Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The demand for lightweight structures made of sandwich panels is ever increasing in many Industrial sectors. Numerous research efforts have been taken by various researchers in this area in terms of weight and cost reduction. Sandwich panel is a composite structure and it is an excellent alternative material in place of weight reduction without sacrificing its strength and stiffness characteristics. The geometrical characteristics of honeycomb core sandwich panels as well as their physical and mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural stiffness, core shear moduli, shear strength and stiffness are analyzed. The sandwich panels are available in various shapes and sizes to the service requirement. The commercially available sandwich panels have different core materials such as foams, FRPs and metallic and non metallic materials. The structure of the core typically varies as truss type and honeycomb. The face sheets and the core materials are bonded using thermo-set resins.
