Abstract

This paper was prepared by Mr. Markwardt for presentation at several ASTM district meetings as well as the Symposium on Structural Sandwich Construction of the Fifty-fourth Annual Meeting. Because it presents a broad, over-all view of this new field of composite structural materials, it is included with the more specialized technical papers, including those by other members of the Forest Products Laboratory, which are: Sandwich Construction in the Elastic Range, by H. W. March; Strength of Sandwich Construction, by C. B. Norris; and Fabrication Techniques for Structural Sandwich Construction, by B. G. Heebink.
