fracture toughness <strong>of</strong> the H250 core compared to H130 <strong>and</strong> PMI cores. Fibre bridging was<br />

observed after around 4-5 mm <strong>of</strong> crack propagation in the panels with H250 core. The similarity<br />

between the debond propagation paths in the MMB specimens <strong>and</strong> the panels refutes the role <strong>of</strong><br />

the different propagation paths in the inaccuracy <strong>of</strong> the determined debond propagation loads.<br />
