Abstract

A sandwich plate with a truss core is composed of two face sheets and a pyramidal truss core between face sheets. This paper shows how to estimate the shear modulus of a truss core, experimentally. To determine the shear modulus of truss cores, 3-point bending tests are performed. For tests, metallic sandwich beams with truss cores are fabricated. Two kinds of truss cores are tested to investigate the shear modulus. Each test is repeated under different widths in order to increase accuracy. As a result, the shear modulus of sandwich beam is properly calculated. The deflection of a sandwich beam with a truss core by shear deformation takes the major contribution of the total deflection and the shear modulus of sandwich beam should be considered whenever it is designed.
