3、.Scope1.1 This test method determines the two-dimensional flex-ural properties of sandwich composite plates subjected to adistributed load.The test fixture uses a relatively large squarepanel sample which is simply supported all around and has thedistributed load provided by a water-filled bladder.T
4、his type ofloading differs from the procedure of Test Method C393,whereconcentrated loads induce one-dimensional,simple bending inbeam specimens.1.2 This test method is applicable to composite structures ofthe sandwich type which involve a relatively thick layer of corematerial bonded on both faces
5、with an adhesive to thin-facesheets composed of a denser,higher-modulus material,typically,a polymer matrix reinforced with high-modulusfibers.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text theinch-pound units are shown in bracke
6、ts.The values stated ineach system are not exact equivalents;therefore,each systemmust be used independently of the other.Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in nonconformance with thestandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with
7、its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.5 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized princi
