Flexural performance of composites sandwich beam with core made of polyurethane foam filled glass fibre reinforced polyester recyclates

This paper presents the prediction of flexural performance of sandwich beams under compressive loads using MATLAB programming. Polyurethane (PU) foam filled with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester recyclates (rGFRP) is used as sandwich core. The rGFRP filler in the sandwich core is expected to increas...
