Abstract

This paper discussed experimental results of flexural behaviour of aluminium honeycomb sandwich panels. The flexural behaviour is focused on permanent after-impact deflections. The response of aluminium honeycomb sandwich panels to three-point bending impact load was investigated with three angles of impact. All specimens were subjected to impact angles of 90°, 60° and 45° at constant impact velocity. Three different cell sizes were used for this study in order to observe permanent after-impact maximum deflections. The results showed that the parameter of cell core sized in a good agreement with deflection increase factor.
