Abstract

The objective of this study is to evaluate mechanical and physical properties of Carbon FRP composites including both laminates and sandwich panels. The combination of light carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials with structurally efficient sandwich panel designs offers novel opportunities for ultra light structures. The objective of this research is to develop a modeling approach to predict response of composite sandwich panels under static bending conditions.
