Characterisation of composite honeycomb sandwich structures cured using the quickstep process

This study aims to characterise the skin-core interface of carbon fibre composite honeycomb sandwich structures when cured using the Quickstep process. The effect of adhesive film, skin material and core thickness on mechanical properties and resin fillet geometry will be studied. The results will provide an understanding of the formation of resin fillets when processing honeycomb sandwich structures using the Quickstep process to help improve mechanical performance.
