In this study, honeycomb sandwich structures were prepared and tested. Facesheets of sandwich structures were manufactured by carbon fiber epoxy matrix composites while Nomex® honeycomb was used as core material. An epoxy-based adhesive film was used to bond the composite facesheets with honeycomb core. Four different curing temperatures ranging from 100oC to 130oC were applied with curing times of 2h and 3h. Three-point bend test was performed to investigate the mechanical performance of honeycomb sandwich structures and thus optimize the curing parameters. It was revealed that the combination of a temperature of 110oC along with a curing time of 2h offered the optimum mechanical performance together with low damage in honeycomb core and facesheets.

This paper studies different modelling methodologies for a calculation of the three point bend test. Test samples are composed of a rubber matrix and either steel or textile cords reinforcement. Prior to the bending tests, all of the used materials including the matrix and the reinforcement were measured to find out their mechanical properties. Rubber materials were described using hyperelastic models. FEM software MSC Marc/Mentat is employed as a calculation tool and its various functionalities are utilized for a description of the test composite models. The main observed outcome is a dependence of the vertical force causing the test sample deformation on the amount of the deformation. Calculated results are compared to each other and to measurements. Then, all the modelling techniques are evaluated.

The purpose of this note is to present formulae, derived by stationary energy considerations, for the deflection of an arbitrary length of sandwich structure subjected to the three-point bend test, for comparison with experimental results.
