Introduction to Repair of Sandwich Panel Structures

Sandwich structures (aka sandwich panels) find themselves in a wide variety of applications. Their notable qualities include high specific strength, stiffness, and energy absorption. Like any structure, sandwich panels may require repair when damaged.

This webinar will cover various types of damage and the damage assessment process. It will explore how decisions to repair, replace, or return to service are made and discuss the general steps involved in sandwich panel repair including inspection, preparation, repair goals, and validation.

This webinar builds on concepts discussed in previous webinars including: Introduction to Sandwich Structures – Materials and Processing – A327 (https://compositeskn.org/KPC/A327), Sandwich Panels in Aerospace – A341 (https://compositeskn.org/KPC/A341), and Introduction to Repair of Composite Structures – A365 (https://compositeskn.org/KPC/A365).
