The goals are to identify the strength reduction behavior and its statistical properties of sandwich structure subjected to low velocity impact. For these, the impact tests were performed using the impact tester and the damages are inspected by SAM. And then, subsequent static tests are conducted under flexural loading for the impacted structures. The strength reduction behavior is evaluated via the residual strength prediction model. Also, a statistical model is developed to identify the fluctuation of residual strength. The model well describes the distribution of residual strength.

The goals of the paper are to identify the impact damage and strength reduction behavior of sandwich structure, composed of carbon/epoxy laminates skin and Nomex core with two kinds of thickness (10 and 20mm). For these, low velocity impact tests were conducted using the instrumented impact-testing machine and damages are inspected by SAM. And then, subsequent static tests are conducted under flexural loading to identify the strength reduction behavior of the impacted sandwich structures. The impact damages are mainly delamination in carbon/epoxy skin and their behavior is mostly independent of core thickness. Also, their energy absorbing behavior is identified through calculating the energy absorbed by impact damage. Finally, the strength reduction behavior is evaluated through Caprino’s model, which was proposed on the unidirectional laminates.
