Abstract Sandwich composites find increasing use as flexural load bearing lightweight sub-elements rail / ground transportation and marine bodies. In recent year, alternatives to traditional foam and honeycomb cores are being sought. One such development includes filling the cells of the honeycomb core with foam. The increased surface area allows stress forces to dissipate over a larger area than that offered by the honeycomb alone. This allows for use of lowering the cost of the honeycomb cells, and thereby making the design extremely cost-effective. In the present research, phenolic impregnated honeycomb / corrugated cells with polyurethane foam filling has been considered. The intermediate and high velocity impact response of these types of sandwich constructions has been studied. The applications for such cores would be in rail and ground transportation, where impacts in the form of flying debris are common.

The impact response and energy absorbing characteristics of laminated, foam sandwich and honeycomb sandwich composites under ballistic impact have been studied in this investigation. An improved model is proposed in this paper to predict the ballistic property of the laminated composites. In this model, the material structures related to fiber lamination angles are designed in terms of their anti-impacting energy absorption capability. The ballistic limit speed and energy absorption per unit thickness of the three composites under different conditions are calculated. It is shown that honeycomb sandwich composite has the best ballistic resistance capability and energy absorption property among the three composites.
