The paper details the manufacturing processes involved in the preparation of through-the-thickness reinforced composites via the ‘dry preform–tufting–liquid resin injection’ route. Samples for mechanical testing were ...

This paper presents results from a test developed to simulate the water impact (slamming) loading of sandwich boat structures. A weighted elastomer ball is dropped from increasing heights onto rigidly supported panels ...

The paper presents the first complete set of test results obtained from quasi- static measurements of the out-of-plane tension, shear and compression properties of novel XCor ™ and K-Cor™ flat sandwich panels. The cured ...
