: the ratio between extensional in-plane strain and shear strain occurring in the core<br />
γ<br />
t c : the core thickness<br />
l sl : the shear-loaded length<br />
w : width<br />
G c : the core shear modulus<br />
t f : the face thickness<br />
E f : the face in-plane elastic modulus<br />
In the above equations shear stress values are in MPa and lengths in mm.<br />
Guidance note:<br />
Each correction factor is independent. When no correction is needed, for example when a size effect does not occur<br />
because of identical dimensions between reference specimen and structure to design, the corresponding correction<br />
factor shall be set to 1 in the above equations.<br />
---e-n-d---of---G-u-i-d-a-n-c-e---n-o-t-e---<br />
Guidance note:<br />
When using data from the literature, it shall be checked that the geometrical, physical and loading characteristics are<br />
proper for the structure under consideration.<br />

2.5.12 Characteristic values of the shear strength, τ char , shall be based on the corrected shear strength values,<br />
τ corrected . Calculations shall be done as described in Sec.4 [2.4].<br />
2.6 Core skin interface properties<br />
2.6.1 Good bonding between skin and cores shall be insured.<br />
2.6.2 The shear strength, transverse tensile strength and peel strength are usually the critical parameters that<br />
should be checked for sandwich structures.<br />
2.6.3 If it can be documented that the interface is stronger than the core, core properties can be used to describe<br />
the interface. For many sandwich structures made of foam core the interface is stronger than the core and<br />
interface failure is actually a failure inside the core close to the interface.<br />
2.6.4 Test methods to obtain interface properties are described in the App.D.<br />
2.6.5 The general requirements for interfaces described in Sec.7 should also be considered.<br />

3.1.1 The structure shall be analysed for the elastic constants before time-dependent damage and for the elastic<br />
constants with time-dependent damage.<br />
3.1.2 If the structure is exposed to through thickness time-dependent loads or deformations, a degradation of<br />
the through thickness properties shall be considered. Experimental evidence shall be provided since no other<br />
guidance can be given today (year 2003).<br />
3.1.3 The single logarithmic representation of fatigue data shall be preferred; the scale of the x-axis should be<br />
logarithmic function of the cycle number.<br />
