In marine industry, the usage of sandwich composite structures has been increased due to these structure can provide strong properties that the manufacturer desires. The useful properties of these structure are not only useful in marine industry but also in other industries such as aviation, automotive and aerospace industries. The main propose of this study is to provide useful simulation testing results for the future references by comparing the results of three-point bending tests through experimental and finite element analyses of sandwich composite structures. This research is conducted with fiberglass and a core material which is carbon from pine wood with different weight percentage (10, 20,30, 40 and 50 wt%). It was found that the sandwich panel with higher content of pine wood carbon 50 wt% has achieved the maximum stress 25.268 kPa and strain of 3.184 × 10−7 mm/mm. When the percentage of the pine wood-activated carbon increased or the core’s diameter increased, all the values of maximum stress, maximum strain and maximum displacement also have been increased. This has also shown that specimens with higher percentage of the pine wood-activated carbon or the core’s diameter can withstand more stress before the specimen rupture.
