Experimental Test on Sandwich Panel Composite Material

Dipak G. Vamja, G. G. Tejani

Automotive industry is on the verge of development and more comforts are being incorporated in a vehicle. On other hand customers have stringent demand of fuel economy, high performance at low cost. In order to have high fuel economy the auto-motive manufacturers are induced to reduce weight. Author has selected composite material of Aluminium composite material (Aluminium skin, polyethylene core, resin binder material). Tensile strength, bending strength has been carried out on Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to optimize of mass of composite material. One can use sandwich panel composite material to optimize mass and cost of various automobile, marine, aerospace and various structures.
