Core crush criterion to determine the strength of sandwich composite structures subjected to compression after impact

In this study a core crush criterion is proposed to determine the residual strength of impacted sandwich structures. The core of the sandwich is made of a Nomex Honeycomb core and the faces are laminated and remain thin. The mechanism of failure of this kind of structure under post-impact compressi...

Core crush criterion to determine the strength of sandwich composite structures subjected to compression after impact
description In this study a core crush criterion is proposed to determine the residual strength of impacted sandwich structures.

For the type of sandwich analysed in this study, initially the core crushes at the apex of the damage.
