Determination of Material Properties for Structural Sandwich Calculations: From Creep to Impact Loading

  • Conference paper

Abstract

In order to use sandwich materials efficiently designers require reliable material properties. The properties commonly available are values given by material suppliers determined by standard quasi-static tests. These are used in initial material selection and then more detailed design calculations are performed. The loadings encountered are rarely quasi-static and predictions of the behaviour of composite sandwich structures under slow (creep) or rapid (impact) loadings can be made by various methods, from simple analytical models to complex numerical codes. Common to all these approaches is the need for appropriate material input data.
