Experimental Investigation of Failure Modes for Sandwich Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, the mechanical behavior in three-point bending was investigated for four different sandwich beams composed of aluminum alloy 1050 H24 faces and Necuron rigid polyurethane foams. The tests were conducted according to the recommendations of ASTM C393-00. Three different failure modes were observed (yielding of faces, face and core indentation and shear of core), being in accordance with the modes deducted from the calculated values of bending and shear stresses.
