Sec.6 Failure mechanisms and design criteria – Page 101<br />

1.3.2 Failure mechanisms and types for the faces are the same as for FRP laminates described in [1.2].<br />

1.3.3 A relationship between failure mechanisms and types according to the principles given in Sec.2 [3.4] is<br />

given in Table 6-4 for sandwich structures.<br />

Table 6-4 Relationship between failure mechanism and failure type for sandwich structures<br />

Failure Mechanisms<br />

Failure Type<br />

Crack Growth in core-skin interface<br />

Typical plastic<br />

Debonding of core skin interface<br />

Brittle<br />

Yielding of core Depends on core material, see [1.3.4]<br />

Ultimate failure of anisotropic homogenous core Brittle<br />

material<br />

Local elastic buckling of skin laminates<br />

Assume brittle unless plastic or ductile type can be documented<br />

Global elastic buckling of panel See [1.2.1]<br />

1.3.4 Table 6-5 indicates typical failure types for yielding of common core materials at normal laboratory<br />

loading rates (strain rate about 1% per minute). Failure types can change with loading rates. The failure types<br />

indicated are typical cases and shall be documented for the specific material, based on the definition given in<br />

Sec.2 [3.4].<br />

Table 6-5 Typical failure types for various core types<br />

Yielding of Core Material<br />

Typical Failure Type<br />

Paper honeycomb<br />

Ductile<br />

Aluminium honeycomb<br />

Ductile<br />

Glass/Phenolic honeycomb<br />

Does not yield<br />

Nomex honeycomb<br />

Does not yield<br />

Balsa wood<br />

Does not yield<br />

Polyurethane foam<br />

Does not yield<br />

Polystyrene foam<br />

Does not yield<br />

Polyvinyl chloride foam (linear) Ductile or plastic<br />

Polyvinyl chloride foam (cross-linked) Ductile or plastic<br />

Poly-methacryl-imide foam<br />

Does not yield<br />

Corrugated core<br />

Material-dependent<br />

1.3.5 Failure mechanisms are often described in more detail for sandwich structures than the mechanisms<br />

given in [1.3.2] and [1.3.3]. Figure 6-2 relates some typically illustrated or discussed failure mechanisms to the<br />

ones used in this standard.<br />

a) face/core yielding/fracture<br />

b) core shear<br />

c) buckling - face wrinkling<br />

d) delamination<br />

e) general buckling<br />

f) buckling - shear crimping<br />

g) buckling - face dimpling<br />

h) (h) core indentation - core yield.<br />
