TECHNOLOGIES, 9 rue des Balanciers, Thionville, France Abstract Composite sandwich structures have excellent properties and they are widely used in the ields o high technology such as aeronautics and astronautics, etc. Investigations o the mechanical properties o composite sandwich structures play a vital role in determining their applicability in various engineering ields. In this study, we have developed a new core material, which is an original cellular composite based on polystyren cells named YmaCell. Bending and crash properties o YmaCell are determined and compared with a polypropylen honeycomb and a thermoplastic oam panel. The results show that the rigidity o the cellular composite YmaCell is better than that o the polypropylen honeycomb structures and the thermoplastic oam. The chemical bonds between the skins are likely to be a major actor or the higher perormances o the cellular composite. Keywords Composite, Short ibres, Sandwich structures, Crash, Bending 1. Introduction Sandwich panels typically consist o two thin ace sheets or skins and a lightweight thicker core. Commonly used materials or ace sheets are composite laminates and metals, while cores are made o metallic and non-metallic honeycombs, cellular oams, balsa wood or trusses. The ace sheets are typically bonded to the core with an adhesive, and carry most o the bending and in-plane loads. The core provides the lexural stiness and out-o-plane shear and compressive strength. The structural perormance o sandwich panels depends not only on the properties o the skins, but also on those o the core, the adhesive bonding the core to the skins, and the geometrical dimensions o the components. Sandwich composites with cellular core are widely employed in modern mechanical design, not only in the ield o aeronautical constructions, where they have been developed initially, but also in the ields o on-land transportation and marine constructions. Because o their characteristic eatures, such as the high lexural resistance and stiness [1], the high impact strength [, 3], the high corrosion resistance and the low thermal and acoustics conductivity [5, 6, 7], sandwich structures are in act preerred over conventional materials in various industrial * Corresponding author: jamal57010@yahoo.r (Jamal Arbaoui) Published online at Copyright 015 Scientiic & Academic Publishing. All Rights Reserved applications. Although large numbers o research projects have been perormed by various authors, the design o structural elements made rom sandwich composites is oten a diicult task. This is mainly because a reliable strength prediction needs the preliminary knowledge o the mechanical behavior o skins and core, as well as o the peculiar damage mechanisms [8, 9, 10], and ailure criteria that can be used under a complex loading. In the last years, the research and development on a large range o cellular composites has been explored. In nature cellular structures can be ound in plants and bird bones. Such structures have been reproduced so closely as possible to the natural ones. The basic principal or the production o such a materials is the association o a sophisticated system o sti-walled, tree-dimensional cells with a short-ibred composite material. In this paper a sandwich element with a novel cellular core named YmaCell are developed. Bending and crash properties o YmaCell are determined and compared with a polypropylene honeycomb and a thermoplastic oam panel. The panels are covered with dierent composite walls.. Sandwich Material A typical simply supported sandwich panel consists o two thin aces with a thickness o t, separated by a light and a weaker core o thickness h c, as illustrated in Fig.1. The overall depth o the panel is h and the width b. The aces are typically bonded to the core to provide a load transer

The our-point bending test [13] 3. Experimental Procedure Figure 1. A structure o a sandwich composite [11] The lexural rigidity or a sandwich beam, denoted as D, is the sum o the lexural rigidities o the aces and the core measured with respect to the centroidal axis o the entire section and can be expressed as: 3 3 E bt E btd Ecbhc D = + + = D + D0 + D 6 1 Where E and E c are the Young s modulus o the ace sheet and core, and d = t + h c. D is the bending stiness o a ace sheet about its own neutral axis, D 0 is the stiness o the ace sheets associated with bending about the neutral axis o the entire sandwich, and D c is the stiness o the core [1]. Since the core is sti in shear but sot generally, its Young s modulus is much smaller than that o the ace sheet. By assuming E c <<E and the ace sheets are thin, then 3 3 ( hc ) b h D E () 1 The shear stiness Q is given by equation (3): Q G c bh ( t) h c c (1) = (3) The ace stress is given by equation (4): P( L L σ 1) = (4) tbd In the core the shear stress is given by equation (5): Pmax τ c max = (5) bd The elastic delection w t or a sandwich beam at ( L loading points L1) is the sum o the lexural and shear delections, or a our-point bending (Fig..).

Crash Test For the crash test a speciic apparatus has been developed in our laboratory, Fig. 6. The impactor is a system with interchangeable masses (rom 440 g to 4 kg) with a steel sphere o 10 mm de diameter as bloc proile, the drop height varying rom 10 to 85 cm. Impact energies up to 30 J can be developed with this system. Samples have been cut out in dierent areas o the panels to veriy the mechanical homogeneity and the eiciency o the production conditions. The dimensions o the specimens were chosen as 60 x 60 mm. The tests were perormed on a non-instrumented machine. Comparator measuring apparatus was used to record the indentation length o the sandwich material. Figure 6. Crash test 4. Results and Discussion 4.1. Bending Results Fig.7 shows the results rom the our-point bending tests or the three core materials: YmaCell alone, YmaCell reinorced with a short carbon ibers and YmaCell reinorced with a short glass ibers. The skins are made o the Twintex (thermoplastic composite composed the glass iber and polypropylene resin). These panels have been produced to study the eect o short ibers additions in the YmaCell core (0% o glass ibers and 4% o carbon ibers). From this igure, the bending behavior is similar and can be described in three principal phases: the irst phase is initial linear elastic behavior ollowed by a phase o nonlinear one in which the maximum loading is reached. In the last phase, a reduction in the load applied is observed till the total rupture o the samples. The linear behavior corresponds to the work o the skins in traction and compression, whereas the nonlinear behavior mainly depends on the core properties under the eect o the shear stress. This igure clearly shows the eect o the adding reinorcements in the core material. The lexural stiness is improved at the act that the reinorcements increase the shear modulus o the YmaCell. Figs. 8 and 9 represent the three retained cores with two dierent walls, roving 3 olds and carbon olds. I the general behavior appears to be the same, the ratio loading/displacement and the bending strength are dierent. The sandwich with carbon olds skin has higher bending properties than the roving 3 olds. For two lower the curves the walls are stuck on the cores. For the other one, the walls are impregnated with the same resin as used to prepare the composite mixture. These results show also that the YmaCell presents the high lexural rigidity relative to that o the polypropylen honeycomb and thermoplastic oam AIREX. Comparison the maximum load o the sandwich with carbon iber olds skin, we ound 400 N or YmaCell core, 50 N or Polypropylen honeycomb and 150 N or AIREX oam. This is can be explained by the presence o chemical bonds between the skins and the core contrary to the other structures where the bonding is simple. Fig. 10 show the results obtained with an YmaCell core covered with two dierent walls. These walls consist o the same thickness but the Young modulus dierent. It is observed that the increase o the Young modulus osters the increase o the bending stiness which given by: D = EI (7) Where D is the bending stiness, E is the Young modulus and I is the Moment o inertia. In Fig. 11, we keep the same thickness, the same Young modulus but we have introduces an orientation actor o the ibers in the skin. The bending stiness obtained in the case o perpendicular iber is higher that the iber with ±45 orientation. This is can be explained by the Changes o orientation actor which is ½ or T800/M300 0 /90 ibers and ¼ or T800/M300 ± Crash Test Results The Figs. 1 and 13 illustrate the same behavior during a crash test o three cores: YmaCell, AIREX oam and polypropylen honeycomb which is covered with two types o composite skins, roving 3 olds and carbon olds. It is observed that the structures which have the high shear stiness are the most indented. This allows us to conclude that the increase o the core shear modulus or skin lexural modulus promotes the increase o the contact energy and thus the indentation. The impact response o our structures is suitable in comparison with other structures [14]. From Fig. 14, it is ound that the same behavior or two cores which are YmaCell and polypropylen honeycomb covered with dierent skins (T800/M300, roving 3 olds, carbon olds and twintex). It is noted that the structures which have the high lexural stiness are the most indented. It absorbs low energy during bending which leads to conclude that the kinetic energy o the projectile is transormed mainly into indentation energy. However, the indentation values vary between.5 and 3 mm or the structures with YmaCell core, while or the structures with polypropylen honeycomb, the indentation values vary between 0.7 and 1.5 mm. Then, the indentation length is more important or YmaCell than or polypropylen honeycomb. This allows us to justiy the results obtained and outlined above in Figs. 1 and 13.

Conclusions In this paper, the core material, which is an original cellular composite, based on polystyren cells called YmaCell is developed and compared with a polypropylen honeycomb and a thermoplastic oam panel which already exists in the composite industry. Bending and crush properties o these materials are determined and compared. Some speciic conclusions drawn rom the bending and crash test are the ollowing: - Adding glass or carbon ibers allows to increase strongly the maximum loading charge. - The intended bending perormances (YmaCell better than the other composites) are attained. The bending properties are higher or the dierent walls. On the other hand, the crash energies are lower than those measured or the thermoplastic oam. - YmaCell has perormances close to or better than AIREX oam with T800/M300 0 /90 walls. - The rigidity o the cellular composite is better than that o the honeycomb structures. - The YmaCell also enables to obtain very powerul chemical bonds in comparison with other core materials. These experimental results will be used to develop numerical models using inite element method (FEM) calculations.
