EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION OF THERMO-ELASTIC EQUATIONS FOR SANDWICH PANEL DEFLECTION

Abstract

Deflection tests were performed on a sandwich panel made by Aeronca Manufacturing Corp. The panel was tested under a compressive edge load and with an arbitrary temperature distribution on the upper and lower faces. The center deflection of the panel was measured and compared with the calculated value. Good agreement has been found between experiment and theory.
