Abstract
For the determination of debonded sandwich panel residual strength with lateral loading a parametric finite element model is developed. The parametric model allows an arbitrary positioning of the debond within the panel and
consists of both solid and shell elements. A fracture mechanical approach using the crack flank displacements obtained from the FEA solution combined with measured mixed-mode fracture toughness values are used to determine
the ultimate failure load. Experiments were conducted to compare against the analysis results. The comparison of numerical and experimentally achieved results showed that the used modeling approach predicts the failure load and
failure mode well.
