Abstract

A numerical methodology for the investigation of a three-point bending test (TPBT) on Nature Fibre Sandwich Aluminum honeycomb panels with Aluminum core is presented. A more efficient alternative honeycomb production method must be pursued in light of the rising costs of electricity and raw materials. The ultimate goal of the cooperative development is to produce sandwich panels that meet technical criteria, are lighter in weight, and are more cost-effective when compared to currently available composite or metal alternatives, among other things. A dedicated focus on numerical models is presented. Using data obtained from experimental tests, a highly detailed Finite Element model will be built. Particular attention will be paid to verify the accurate modelling of the crushing behaviour of the core during the last part of TPBT.
