LOW-VELOCITY IMPACT BEHAVIOR OF GLASS FIBER/EPOXY-ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB CORE SANDWICH COMPOSITES WITH VARYING FIBER ORIENTATIONS AND CORE THICKNESSES: EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
This research experimentally investigates the low-velocity impact response of sandwich composites with glass fiber/epoxy face sheets and aluminum honeycomb cores, focusing on face sheet layup and core thickness. Three face sheet configurations, [0/0/0/0]s, [0/90/90/0]s, and [45/-45/-45/45]s, and honeycomb cores with th...
