Performance of honeycomb sandwich structure with natural fibres fabric reinforced facesheets
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical behaviour and failure mechanisms of sandwich structures with polypropylene (PP) based honeycomb core and natural fibre reinforced polymer (NFRP) facesheets as a function of facesheets. Flax fibre/epoxy facesheets with PP honeycomb core was f...

The properties of sandwich constitution is investigate by using tensile and flexural test for facesheet and flatwise test for core.
