Flexural characteristics of additively manufactured continuous fiber-reinforced honeycomb sandwich structures by Rafael Guerra Silva, Gustavo Morales Pavez

“…The analytical models were able to predict the flexural modulus and critical load with a relative error of approximately 20 % for low fiber volume fraction in the facing. On the other hand, in carbon fiber-reinforced specimens, when doubling the fiber volume fraction in the facing, the relative error was above 60 %.…”
