Facesheet Push-off Tests to Determine Composite Sandwich Toughness at Cryogenic Temperatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new novel test method, associated analysis, and experimental procedures are developed to investigate the toughness of the facesheet-to-core interface of a sandwich material at cryogenic temperatures. The test method is designed to simulate the failure mode associated with facesheet debonding from high levels of gas pressure in the sandwich core. The effects of specimen orientation are considered, and the results of toughness measurements are presented. Comparisons are made between room and liquid nitrogen (-196°C) test temperatures. It was determined that the test method is insensitive to specimen facesheet orientation and strain energy release rate increases with a decrease in the test temperature.

Evaluation of Composite Honeycomb Sandwich Panels Under Compressive Loads at Elevated Temperatures
Fourteen composite honeycomb sandwich panels were tested to failure under compressive loading. The test specimens included panels with both eight and twenty-four ply graphite-bismaleimide composite facesheets and both titanium and graphite-polyimide core materials. The panels were designed to have the load introduced through fasteners attached to pairs of steel angles on the ends of the panels ...
