Interior Deformation and Failure of a Short Composite Sandwich Beam under Three-Point Bending

Article Preview

Abstract:

Composite sandwich plates and beams are increasingly employed as an engineering material in structures such as airplanes, ships, bridges, and vehicles because of their superb strength to weight ratio. Understanding a sandwich structure’s failure mechanism is a prerequisite for a safety design. In this paper, we employ a new experimental technique called DVSP (Digital Volumetric Speckle Photography) to map the interior deformation of a short composite sandwich beam under three-point bending. 3D displacement fields and shear strain fields of 5 transverse and 4 longitudinal sections of the beam are mapped quantitatively in detail as a function of increasing load. The beam fails in delamination of the interface between the face sheet and core.
