Experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of asymmetry on the residual strength of a composite sandwich panel

Asymmetric sandwich panels with skins of differing thickness are subjected to various degrees of damage via quasi-static indentation before compressive loading to failure. These are compared with panels with skins of equal thickness. The experiments show that the asymmetric panels experience an impr...
