Synopsis

A composite sandwich panel is a hybrid material made up of constituents such as a face sheet, a core, and adhesive film for bonding the face sheet and core together. Advances in materials have provided designers with several choices for developing sandwich structures with advanced functionalities. The selection of a material in the sandwich construction is based on the cost, availability, strength requirements, ease of manufacturing, machinability, and post-manufacturing process requirements. Sandwich Composites: Fabrication and Characterization provides insights into composite sandwich panels based on the material aspects, mechanical properties, defect characterization, and secondary processes after the fabrication, such as drilling and repair.

FEATURES

• Outlines existing fabrication methods and various materials aspects
• Examines composite sandwich panels made of different face sheets and core materials
• Covers the response of composite sandwich panels to static and dynamic loads
• Describes parameters governing the drilling process and repair procedures
• Discusses the applications of composite sandwich panels in various fields
• Explores the role of 3D printing in the fabrication of composite sandwich panels

Due to the wide scope of the topics covered, this book is suitable for researchers and scholars in the research and development of composite sandwich panels. This book can also be used as a reference by professionals and engineers interested in understanding the factors governing the material properties, material response, and the failure behavior under various mechanical loads.
