Abstract

In this paper the flexure behavior of the honeycomb sandwich panels are experimentally and analytically investigated. Aluminum honeycomb core and glass fiber composite face sheets were utilized for the manufacture of the test specimens. The tests were performed on three point bend test bench in MTS machine. The experimental and analytical results are compared in the study.
