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

2.3 Experimental Results<br />

Figure 2.3 shows typical load vs. axial displacement <strong>and</strong> load vs. out-<strong>of</strong>-plane displacement<br />

curves for columns with a 50.8 mm debond <strong>and</strong> H45, H100 <strong>and</strong> H200 cores. The out-<strong>of</strong>-plane<br />

deflection refers to the centre <strong>of</strong> the debond, for additional results see Apendix A.<br />
