(DIC) measurement system (ARAMIS 2M) was used to monitor 3D surface displacements <strong>and</strong><br />
surface strains during the experiments. Testing <strong>of</strong> the columns was conducted using ramp<br />
displacement control with a piston loading rate <strong>of</strong> 0.5 mm/min. A sample rate <strong>of</strong> one image per<br />
second was used in the DIC measurements. Three replicate tests were conducted for each<br />
specimen configuration.<br />
The material properties <strong>of</strong> the face sheets, assumed to be in-plane isotropic, were determined by<br />
tensile tests based on the ASTM st<strong>and</strong>ard D3039. The compression strength <strong>of</strong> the face sheets<br />
was measured on laminate specimens cut from the actual s<strong>and</strong>wich face sheet using the ASTM<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard IITRI (D3410) test fixture. Core material properties were obtained from the<br />
manufacturer (DIAB, Divinycell H Technical Data, Labholm), see Table 2.1. Symbols E <strong>and</strong> G<br />
represent Young’s <strong>and</strong> shear moduli, Poisson’s ratio, max the compression strength <strong>of</strong> the core<br />
<strong>and</strong> the tensile <strong>and</strong> compression strengths <strong>of</strong> the face sheets. GIC is the mode I fracture toughness<br />
<strong>of</strong> the core material (Li <strong>and</strong> Carlsson, 1999).<br />
