Flexural Properties of Kenaf Sandwich Panel

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study concerns on effect of varying skin thickness to flexural properties of sandwich panel. The main element of the core structure is kenaf and the skin used in this study is galvanised steel sheet. Skin thickness being used in this research is 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm. In this study, comparing sandwich of skin thickness 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm, result shows that 1.0 mm skin is sufficient as mechanical properties of sandwich decreases and density of sandwich increases as skin thickens.
