Local bending containment in sandwich panels with subsurface core damage

The compressive residual strength and behavior of impact damaged sandwich panels are governed by the amount of non-visible core damage underneath the facesheets. The failure modes under in-plane compressive loading are either due to crack precipitation from the damage zone or unstable dimple propaga...
