An Investigation on Mechanical Behavior of Tooth-Plate-Glass-Fiber Hybrid Sandwich Beams

Figure 6

The failure modes of TFS beams: (a) core indentation failure of hybrid sandwich beams with foam core density of 35 kg/m³, (b) core indentation failure of hybrid sandwich beams with foam core density of 80 kg/m³, and (c) core shear failure of hybrid sandwich beams with foam core density of 150 kg/m³ under the span of 300 mm and 400 mm.
