Failure Prediction of Honeycomb Panel Joints using Finite Element Analysis

Spacecraft structures rely on honeycomb panels to provide a light weight means to support the vehicle. Honeycomb panels can carry significant load but are most vulnerable to structural failure at their joints where panels connect. This research shows that predicting sandwich panel joint capability...
