Experimental and finite element evaluations of debonding in composite sandwich structure with core thickness variations

An important failure mode in sandwich structures is the debonding between the core and facesheet, which can destroy the load capacity of the structure. This work addressed the critical interfacial modes and studied the effects of thickness variation of the core material. The single cantilever beam g...
