An experimental tests
performed on two series of sandwich panels, differed by the type of the matrix
used for the composite face sheets, are presented in this paper. By applying a
linear load in the middle of the span, these sandwich panels were subjected on
three points bending test. The analysis was performed in order to evaluate the
influence of the matrix type on the ultimate mechanical characteristics of the
sandwich panels. By analyzing the F-! behavior of the sandwich panels, as well
as the F-" behavior of the composite face sheets, the influence of the matrix
type used in the composite face sheets has been evaluated.
