Abstract

This research paper focuses on the prediction of different failure modes to improve the sandwich composite panel with honeycomb core for application in marine structures. Marine, automotive and aerospace industries are continually trying to optimize material performance in terms of strength and weight. Success has been achieved through the growth of high performance materials, including fibrous composites such as ceramics, new alloys, and carbon fiber composites and through the use of structural concepts such as sandwich composite panel construction. Sandwich composite panel construction with honeycomb core consists of three components: two facing sheets, the core that fill the space between the facing sheet and the core-to-facing bonding adhesives. The facing sheets of a sandwich panel can be compared to the flanges of an I-beam element, as they carry the bending stresses to which the beam is subjected. With one facing sheet in compression, the other is in tension. Similarly the honeycomb core corresponds to the web of the I-beam that resists the shear loads and vertical compressive load to the face sheet. This paper presents a model for prediction of different failure mode of face sheet and core material. The obtained results of this model were compared with experimental results and presents that it is a simple and good model.
