The energy-absorbing behaviour of foam cores reinforced with composite rods

This paper investigates the energy-absorbing characteristics of composite reinforced PVC foam cores for use in lightweight impact-resistant sandwich structures. Compressive tests have been undertaken on crosslinked PVC foam cores with densities ranging from 40 to 200kg/m3, reinforced with carbon fib...
