Experimental and theoretical research on four-point bending performance of Nomex honeycomb sandwich panels

In order to reveal the relationship between the four-point bending behaviour and structural parameters of Nomex honeycomb sandwich panels (NHSP), a comparison of the bending performance of sandwich panels with different specifications and directions was conducted. The ability of NHSP to improve the strength and stiffness of bare honeycombs and aluminium plates was also quantified. Furthermore, based on experimental data and existing theories,...
