Quasi-Static Indentation Test on Composite Sandwich Panels with Foam Core

Article Preview

Abstract:

In accordance to ASTM test standards, this paper presents experimental studies on quasi-static indentation tests on sandwich panels with carbon fiber reinforced facesheet and foam core. The indentation force vs. displacement curves were obtained. A series of tests with different indentation depth were carried out to study the damage modes and damage propagation process of foam core sandwich panels under quasistatic indentation force.
