| Summary: | This paper addresses the flexural properties of sandwich structures with cellular core materials. Experimental three point bending tests are conducted in order to determine the flexural stiffness and the load-carrying capacity of these advanced composites. In addition, the significant failure modes after exceeding the load-carrying capacity are identified. The results of these analyses are compared for sandwich structures containing various core materials. These core materials comprise two aluminium foams, namely M-PoreJ and AlporasJ, honeycomb structures and novel metallic hollow sphere structures (MHSS). |
