Abstract
Several test methods for determining the fracture toughness of the face/core interface in sandwich specimens have been proposed. All debond specimens are beam specimens where a debond typically is implanted in the form of a thin Teflon sheet between face and core during manufacture of the sandwich panel, or in some cases the debond is machined or cut with a thin blade or knife. This and several other experimental issues will be discussed in Chapter 11. In this chapter, we will introduce some of the most popular sandwich debond tests and outline analysis of compliance and energy release rate.
