2 FLEXURAL RIGIDITY OF A RECTANGULAR STRIP OF SANDWICH CONSTRUCTION- Forest Products Laboratory,? Forest Service U.S. Department of Agriculture m Ma dm OM The flexural rigidity of a sheet of sandwich is not so high as the usual calculations based on the Young's moduli of core and facings would indicate. The relatively low modulus of rigidity of the core causes a.considerable reduction in the calculated stiffness, especially for sheets whose linear dimensions are not extremely large in comparison to their thickness. This reduction in stiffness is well known in the case of beams of small span-depth ratio. A method for calculating the effective stiffness of strips of plywood has been developed and applied to certain types of ordinary plywood. This method is used to obtain a formula for the calculation of the effective stiffness of a strip of sandwich construction supported at its ends and loaded at its center. The strip is considered to be made up of two cantilever beams. The relations between stress and strain and the conditions of equilibrium and strain compatibility in the facings and core of the sandwich strip lead to a differential equation that is satisfied by a stress function. A suitable stress function is chosen and fitted to the proper boundary conditions of each facing and of the core. When this is done it is found that only three constants remain to be determined by the conditions at the fixed end of the cantilever. These constants are determined by placing the horizontal displacements at the top surface of the This progress report is one of a series prepared and distributed by the Forest Products Laboratory under U.S. Navy, Bureau of Aeronautics No. NBA-PO-NAer 0069, Amendment No., and U.S. Air Force No. USAF-PO- (33-038) 48-4E. Results here reported are preliminary and may be revised as additional data become available. Report originally written in February 944 by H. W. March and C. B.

3 upper facing and at the bottom surface of the lower facing and the vertical displacement near the center of the core (at the origin of the coordinate system used) equal to zero. Thus the facings and the core are not restrained from rotating about their associated points of restraint except by their interactions with each other. The result is that their individual stiffnesses in bending are neglected at points directly under the central load and, therefore, that the theory developed leads to a conservative estimate of flexural rigidity if the individual stiffnesses of the facings contribute substantially to the total stiffness of the sandwich strip. Both core and faces will be assumed to be made of orthotropic material, such as wood. The result can be extended immediately to cases where one or both of the materials are isotropic. The thickness of the facings will be denoted by fl and f, respectively, that of the core by c, and the total thickness by h. The width of the strip will be denoted by b. The neutral plane, z = o in figure, is taken to be at a distance q from the facing whose thickness is f. The value of q will be determined in the course of the analysis. The difference, c q, will be denoted by p. The reduction in stiffness of a rectangular strip of length a, as shown in figure, will be determined by assuming a load P to be applied at the center along a line perpendicular to the direction of the span. The strip will be considered to be made up of two cantilevers fixed at their Junction x = 0 and under the action of a load = at the end of each, namely at a a x and x = - The width of the strip will be taken to be large in =. comparison with its thickness, so that the cantilever may be considered to be approximately in a state of plane strain. One of the cantilevers under consideration is shown in figure. In the state of plane strain it is assumed that the components of displacement u and w parallel to the axes of x and z, respectively, are functions of x and z only, and that the component v parallel to the axis of y is zero. All components of stress and strain are independent of y. The strain components e, eyz,and e yy, and the stress components Xy, Yz all ry, vanish. The stress components Y is, in general, not zero. Hence, to Y maintain the strip in a state of plane strain, tensile or compressive forces must be applied on the faces y = 0 and y = b of the strip. The influence of these applied forces on the deflection of the cantilever is assumed to be negligible. At the planes of separation between the facings and the core the following conditions hold: The components of stress Z z and Xz are continuous. The components of displacement u and w are continuous.

Poisson's ratio axy is the ratio of the contraction parallel to the y-axis to the extension parallel to the x-axis associated with a tension parallel to the x-direction. The quantity xz is the modulus of rigidity associated with the directions x and z. In the respective layers the components of stress and strain and the constants of the materials will be denoted by the subscripts,, and c.

As will be seen from the steps taken to calculate it, the stiffness D is the stiffness that would be determined in a load-deflection test of a centrally loaded beam if a correction for shear deformation were not necessary. Equation (63) shows that the effective stiffness of a centrally loaded strip of sandwich is equal to D divided by + q h /a. Consequently, Effective stiffness - + h (65) a Formula (64) for the factor that expresses the effect of shear deformation in the core, can be written in a form more convenient for calculation by introducing the following notation: Let f =f - 5 and f = f + 6 (66) so that f + f f - f -f and -S (67) Report No

With a given type of sandwich it will be necessary to consider the other terms in formula (73) in order to decide the limits within which either formula (78) or (77) may be used to calculate n. The computation for a series of similar specimens will be materially shortened if it can be shown that either of the simpler formulas is adequate for the series. Report No

17 In the notation introduced in equations (66) and (67) the formula (6) for the stiffness D, not corrected for shear deformation, takes the following simpler form: b h3 _ c 3 + cc 3 c 8 ( - p) a - ( - p ) [ (79) where 0, p, and B are defined by equations (7), (3), and (67) respectively. Facings of Equal Thickness When the facings are of equal thickness, the formulas (74) - (77) for the components 7, T3, and Ti4 take much simpler forms. For if f = f0 it follows from (67) that S = 0'. Consequently, all terms containing E. as a'factor disappear from equations (74) (77). At this point the necessary formulas are collected for the case of equal facings. The central deflection is given by: Pa 3 h (y) a = [ + n 7] x = a ( 63) where = n n n 3 +n 4 (73) and - = [ - 3 a is (8o) Pi c4_ c3] (8) = a 3 h h Pc c c3 3 a [3-3] c h. e C3 4 7 MET [3 7 ( - P 7] c (8) (83) Report No

18 In the original form of this report the thickness of the core was denoted by t. The change from t to c has been made here for the sake of agreement with the notation of more recent reports. Formulas (63) and (73) combined with'equations (80), (8), (8), and (83) are substantially the same as formulas (53) and (54) of the original form of this report, except that in the present report the factor X = -a arm a, yx both for facings and core, has not been replaced by unity but has been retained throughout. For sandwich beams with facings of equal thickness, such as were considered in the original report, Hoff and Mautnerl have derived by an entirely different method an approximate formula expressing the effect of the shear deformation in the core on the central deflection of a centrally loaded beam. Numerical calculations of a few beams indicate reasonable agreement of their formula, applicable to the case of equal facings, with formula (73) combined with equations (8o), (8), (8), and (83) and with the simpler approximate formula to be mentioned below. As in the case of unequal facings, it sufficiently good approximation to be made by dropping the term pc3/h). lowing simple approximate formula for rl. ( -.-) algc h h will often be found that n4 is a Often a further approximation can When this is permissible, the foln results: or, in terms of the elastic constants, this approximate formula can be written as: = 3Exi c ( - c a ) g h ry yx zxc _ h (80 ( 85) where the subscript denotes an elastic constant of the facings and the subscript c an elastic constant of the core. As in the case of the approximate formulas for sandwiches with unequal facings, it will.be necessary to refer to the more exact formula to determine the limits within which nil n, and n3 may be neglected for a given type of sandwich. For sandwiches with facings of equal thickness, the stiffness D from which the effective stiffness can be calculated by equation (65) can be obtained by using equation (79) and setting S equal to zero.
