COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION ON BENDING BEHAVIOR OF CORRUGATED FIBER/POLYMER COMPOSITE SANDWICH STRUCTURE
Keywords:
Polymer Sandwich structure, Three point bending.Abstract
Fiber-reinforced polymer corrugated core sandwich panels were tested for three point bending using UTM. Three types of epoxy based corrugation i.e sinusoidal, square and triangle of different core thickness were tested. The paper focused to compare experimental results with finite element method. Bending load v/s deflection curves were plotted and analyzed, the experimental results are in good agreement with the result of finite element analysis done using Ansys.
