Abstract
This work is concerned with the study of the mechanical behavior of polymer composite sandwich beams. The skins consist of glass and carbon reinforced epoxy composites. The core is made from balsa wood and Divinycell H100 (100 kg m−3) foam. The main goal is to evaluate the best composite system considering the ultimate tensile strength (σu), the elastic modulus (E) and flexural strength (σf). Tensile tests according to standard ASTM D 3039 and bending tests according to standard ASTM D 790 were performed. The mechanical properties were analyzed and compared, in order to present the composite laminate with finest properties.
