2 ASTM C393 / C393M-16, “Standard Test Method for Core Shear Properties of Sandwich Constructions by Beam Flexure,” ASTM International (W. Conshohocken, PA, US), 2016 (first issued in 1957). 3 Sawicki ...

Sandwich panel flexural stiffness, the tensile and compressive strengths of the facesheets, core shear strength and shear modulus, and even the facesheet-to-core bond can be evaluated. However, the ...

Universal testing machines allow you to stretch (tensile), bend (flexural), squash (compression) or pull (shear) a sample until it breaks. The mechanical strength property can be classified, first in ...
