Abstract: | New fabrication technologies now allow for hybrid sandwich structures, known as X-core, to be manufactured. The X-core panels
consist of a pin reinforced polymer foam core with carbon fiber face sheets. Carbon fiber or metallic (Titanium/Steel) pins
are inserted into the foam core in the out-of-plane direction and extend from face sheet to face sheet. The through thickness
three-point simply supported bending behavior of these panels is used to evaluate the collapse characteristics of the panels.
Explicit experimental observations are used to calibrate analytical energy balance models describing the panel collapse as
a function of geometry and properties. The mechanical response of X-core sandwich panels is compared to current sandwich materials
for material selection. |
