Abstract
Because of the emerging need for sustainable materials in the aircraft industry a promising composite material group is remeltable thermoplastic sandwich composites. To secure the useability of these sustainable thermoplastic composite materials, it is irrevocable to gain sufficient insight into the performance of these materials under versatile environmental conditions. In this investigation, the core properties, such as the ultimate core shear strength, the shear stiffness, and the associated failure mechanisms, at different temperatures are investigated by a four-point bending test series.
This series of tests can be seen as a step towards precise material characterization to ensure the development of a sustainable material alternative for structural aircraft parts, without compromising safety and reliability. Furthermore, critical aspects could be identified for prospective investigations.
