This study investigates the effect of dynamic loading on the residual of sandwich structures used in aircraft interiors comprising glass fibre phenolic resin face sheets and Nomex® honeycomb core. A dynamic edgewise compression test method for residual strength testing of sandwich structures has been developed using a modified compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus. Dynamic edgewise compression at strain rates of approximately 50 s−1 for undamaged specimens showed an average increase of 26% in compression strength compared with equivalent static edgewise compression tests. For low levels of indentation damage there was a 27% reduction in residual dynamic compressive strength compared with a 15% reduction in residual static compressive strength for equivalent prior damage. This new experimental method provides insights into the dynamic edgewise response of composite sandwich structures to aid in the design and development of future aeronautical structures.
