Abstract

This paper presents techniques for testing foil-gage honeycomb sandwich structures at elevated temperatures. Also included are the results of tests that were used to determine edge compressive strength, core shear strength, and core crushing strengths of a particular sandwich construction. These results are compared with empirical design values to show that refractory foil sandwich structures are practical and that further development work would be desirable.
