Mechanical Properties

A sandwich laminate can be likened to an I-beam, in which the laminate skins act as the I-beam flange, and the core materials act as the beam's shear web. In bending it can be seen that one skin is put into compression, while the opposite skin into tension. Therefore the core experiences shear. It therefore follows that one of the most important properties of a core is its shear strength and stiffness.
