Low velocity impact and compression after impact behaviour of polyester pin-reinforced foam filled honeycomb sandwich panels

Hybridization of sandwich panels and their different components have drawn huge attention due to the significant improvement in their attributes. Hybrid core of ‘Polyester Pin-reinforced Foam filled Honeycomb Sandwich panels’ (PFHS) were fabricated and compared with unreinforced ‘Foam filled Honeycomb Sandwich panels’ (FHS) in terms of low velocity impact and Compression After Impact (CAI) performance. The impact damage area was calculated by...
