Flexural Behavior of Sandwich Structure with AA 8011 Honeycomb Core and Al 1100 Face Skins
Subscribe/Renew Journal
This paper details the fabrication and flexural testing of sandwich structure with Aluminium honeycomb core with Aluminium face skins. The material for the face skin is aluminium 1100 and for the core is Aluminium AA8011. The cell size obtained by fabrication is 7mm. The specimen is prepared and tested as per the ASTM standard C393/C393M-11 on a three-point bending test to obtain the ultimate core shear strength and the face skin strength. Finite element analysis is also carried out to validate the experimental test.
