Impact and CAI behavior of SGF mat filled sandwich panels made from foam core and FRP facesheet
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The interlaminar bonding property between the facesheet and foam core plays an important role in enhancing the impact damage resistance ability of sandwich panels. In this paper, we filled short glass fiber (SGF) mat between the facesheet and foam core to enhance their bonding strength. The newly designed sandwich panels were manufactured by vacuum-assisted resin injection processing. A series of SGF mat filled sandwich panels with glass and/or carbon fiber facesheets were manufactured. The low-velocity impact as well as the compression-after-impact (CAI) performence were investigated. Failure modes of the sandwich panels were analyzed. Low-velocity impact results show that SGF mat filled sandwich panels with pure glass fiber facesheet displayed the maximum contact force. In the CAI test, wrinkling of the facesheet, buckling of the foam, and debonding between them are the major failure modes. Compared with contrast samples, SGF toughened sandwich panels show the highest strength increase rate.
