1. INTRODUCTION
One of the most important advantages to aluminium honeycomb clean room panels is
the fact that it is non-shedding. Unlike aluminium honeycomb panels, if Mineral Fibre,
PIR or PUR panels are pierced or broken it can release spores into the clean room
environment. As a result the clean room may need to be shut down, cleaned extensively,
air system filtered and then revalidated.
Aluminium honeycomb panels have a better resistance to damage due to their high
crush strength and are also easier to repair. They can simply be filled or reskinned
whereas other panels may need to be completely replaced causing further delays and
problems for the clean room.

2.8] Andrew C. Marshal described various testing procedures for bending strength that
are to be performed on the sandwich panels. It shows that shear strength values obtained
using plate shear test methods (Figure 2.15)are quite normally up to 25% below those
obtained when using the flexure method (Figure 2.16).
2.9] Shawn R. McCullough reported the behavior of LASER welded corrugated core
sandwich beams and plates stiffened with concrete. The sheet tested consists of a
corrugated sandwich panel with top and bottom steel facing separated by steel
corrugation. Concrete layer is placed on the top of the sheet utilizing shear connector
to ensure composite action. Structural behavior of these composites was evaluated.
Main applications of these sandwich panels include emergency bridge repair, building
floors, fire walls etc. Beam Theory (for narrow panels) and classical theory of
orthotropic plates used for analyzing the plates by experimental Results are verified for
both 3-Point and 4- Point loading (figure 2.17).

2.10] St-Pierre performed 3-point bending test in two forms i.e.in (i) simply supported
and (ii) clamped conditions with the prismatic axis of the core aligned to the
longitudinal axis of the beam. Two classes of sandwich beams were fabricated for this
purpose:
i. A beam with front-and-back faces of thickness t and
The dimensions of the cores were approximately 1:20 scale models of the cores
used in a ship hull. In addition, the uniaxial tensile response of as-brazed stainless steel
was found to be representative of shipbuilding steel up to strain levels of about 10%.
Sandwich beams with front-and-back faces present collapsed by indentation whereas
structures without a back face collapsed by Brazier plastic buckling.

consists of integral angled web members with structural radius fillers spaced between
laminate face sheets, (Figure 2.27).
Expansion Method
Corrugation Method
The basic components of sandwich panel are core, facings and adhesive. Face
sheets can be metallic or composite prepreg. Prepreg such as fiberglass, Kevlar and CFRP
can be precured and bonded to honeycomb core with adhesive. Resin from the composite
prepreg bonds fiber with core and therefore adhesive is not necessary for composite skins.
The common methods of bonding panels are with the help of autoclaves,vacuum bagging
and presses. Autoclaves and vacuum bagging are generally used for curved parts and
presses for flat panels.
