Özet

In the current study, the effect of the thickness and the foam density in three-dimensional integrated woven sandwich composites on quasi-static properties was investigated. For this purpose, produced samples were subjected to uniaxial flatwise compression tests and their compression strength and moduli were determined. Obtained results were optimized by taking core thickness, foam density and panel weights into consideration. Damages that occurred on the tested samples were reported. When compared to conventional foam core sandwich composites, it was found that three-dimensional integrated sandwich composites have better compression properties and due to the fact that the pile yarns in the core and the foam support each other.
