Abstract

The failure of composite sandwich joints was experimentally investigated. A total of 30 joint specimens of 5 different types were tested with various fastening methods and core materials. In the NomexTM core sandwich joints, the core shear buckling was commonly observed in all the specimens which was followed by the slope change of the load-displacement curve. After the shear buckling, however, the joints carried additional loads of 50~200% over the buckling loads and then finally failed in the upper face breakage. The joints of PMI foam core showed the shear failure of the core instead of shear buckling and experienced the sharp drop of the carried load. Considering the failure modes, while both the core and face properties are important in the $Nomex^{TM}$ core joints, core shear strength seems to be the critical factor for the foam core joints.

풀아웃 하중을 받는 복합재 샌드위치 체결부의 파손 거동을 시험으로 연구하였다. 체결의 방식과 코어의 종류를 달리하여 5종류, 총 30개의 시편에 대해 시험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과, 노멕스 하니콤 코어를 사용할 경우 코어의 강성에 의해 지배되는 전단좌굴이 먼저 발생하고, 이후 50~200% 정도의 추가적인 하중을 지지하다가, 면재가 찢어지는 최종파손이 발생하였다. 반면에 PMI 폼을 사용하면 하중 초기에 코어의 전단파손이 발생하며 지지하중도 크게 저하되는 것을 확인하였다. 파손모드를 고려한 설계의 관점에서 볼 때, 노멕스 코어를 사용할 경우 코어의 강성과 면재의 강성 및 강도를 동시에 고려해야 하는 반면, 폼 코어를 사용할 경우 코어의 전단파손 하중을 높이는 것이 가장 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
