By using core between two composite, alloy or wood skins, you can create a lighter, stronger and stiffer part than with a solid laminate. However, different types of cores have a wide range of properties and unique characteristics. Proper structural engineering is necessary to optimize performance and minimize cost.
Common Core Properties:
Some key properties to explore when choosing a core are;
|
- Sheer Strength
- Tensile strength
- Tensile modulus (stiffness)
- Compression strength
- Density; standard deviation
- Peel strength
- Service temperature
- Impact resistance
- Fire retardantcy
- Insulating factors "R" value
- Chemical resistance
