Adhesive Shear Test on Panel :
 

This test is intended for determining the shear strength of the bond [adhesive] along tangential direction between the thin facings and the core of the panel. The test produces failure in the sandwich panel by shearing off the bond between the core and the facing. The panel shall have an adhesive shear strength of minimum 0.7kg/sq cms ( i.e. 630 kg). The specimen is of size 300x300 mm as shown in fig.

Flexural test on Panel :

 

This test method pertains to bending of sandwich panel so that the applied moments produce curvature in the panel. The test can produce failure in the sandwich panel in the following ways

 

  • By shearing of the core.
  • By shearing off the bond between the core & facings.
  • By direct compression or tension failure of the facings.
  • By localized wrinkling of thin facings at load points or reactions.
 

Our shelters are easy to move around they can be lifted or towed .They are suitable for military or civil transport by road, rail or air .This mobility results from the light weight and great rigidity.

 

A panel of size 900 x 400 mm simply supported over a span of 750 mm as shown in fig., when loaded in the middle , should withstand an ultimate load more than or equal to 800 Kgs .

 
 
Impact Test on Panel :
Mobility
 

 

 

The purpose of this test is to verify the impact resistance of wall, floor and roof panels. The sample is a 609 x 609 mm panel typical of both the wall, floor and roof constructions. It shall be reinforced along all the four edges with an aluminum alloy U-frame section. The flange portion of the section shall be riveted to the skin of the panel with 48 No's of pop rivets spaced at 100 mm centers. The panel shall be supported along its four edges by a frame work backed by concrete .The frame shall be made of four no. of 50 x 100 mm lumber (wood) members rigidly bolted together to form a square of 609 mm as outside dimension and 100 mm high so that 50 mm face is resting on the ground. The panel shall be bolted to the frame by two 6 mm bolts per edge. The panel is then subjected to impact by a 32 Kg steel cyclinder,76 mm in diameter and hemispherical at one end ,by allowing to fall on its hemispherical end on to the center of the panel from height of 300 mm. After test, the panel shall be inspected and their shall be no rupture or denting of the lower skin. (i.e. other side of the panel.)
