A thermal behaviour study of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite/honeycomb core sandwich panels

The unique honeycomb structure has provided good modulus with a lightweight material, especially in aerospace and vehicle applications. Realizing that the thermal analysis of natural fiber honeycomb sandwiches was still lacking in observation, the research needs to investigate thermal transfer chara...
