Thermal and Thickness Effects in Para-Aramid Core

SUSAN DAGGETT, and JAMES FULLER

Abstract


This paper presents results from a recent test program on para-aramid (Kevlar®) honeycomb core. Test results from several suppliers are combined to obtain knockdown factor curves for thermal and thickness effects. The results were compared to curves published for non-metallic core in the Hexcel® core design guide. Some historical test data from the suppliers was also used in the analyses.
