EFFECT OF CORE THICKNESS ON SHEAR PROPERTIES OF ALUMINUM HONEYCOMB CORE
Abstract
The effect of variations in thickness from 1/2 inch to 4 inches on shear properties of an aluminum honeycomb core was evaluated. Preparation of shear specimens and evaluation procedures are described. Results showed that shear strength parallel to the core ribbon direction decreased 36% and shear strength perpendicular to the core ribbon direction decreased 23% as core thickness increased from 1/2 inch to 4 inches. Shear properties of 1/2-inch-thick core were identical whether determined by tension or compression loading. (Author)
