Abstract

An experimental investigation is presented into the compression response and subsequent failure modes in novel all-composite core parts based on a glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) and a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The contour-cores were fabricated using a compression moulding technique. The deformation in contour parts is investigated as a function of the number of unit cells. The specific energy absorption of the contoured structures has also been determined for the GFRP and CFRP contour core parts.
