Three-dimensional fiber-reinforced foam cores may have improved mechanical properties under specific strain rates and fiber volumes. But its performance as a core in a composite sandwich structure has not been fully investigated. This study explored different manufacturing techniques for the three-dimensional fiber-reinforced foam core using existing literature as a guideline to provide a proof of concept for a low-cost and easily repeatable method comprised of readily available materials. The mechanical properties of the fiber-reinforced foam were determined using a three-point bend test and compared to unreinforced polyurethane foam. The foam was then used in a sandwich panel and subjected to dynamic loading by means of a gas gun (103 s−1). High-strain impact tests validated previously published studies by showing, qualitatively and quantitatively, an 18–20% reduction in the maximum force experienced by the fiber-reinforced core and its ability to dissipate the impact force in the foam core sandwich panel. The results show potential for this cost-effective manufacturing method to produce an improved composite foam core sandwich panel for applications where high-velocity impacts are probable. This has the potential to reduce manufacturing and operating costs while improving performance.

The influence of the fiber/matrix interlayers on the mechanical properties of T800-HB fiber (a kind of carbon fiber) (the fibrous is three-dimensional four-directional braided) reinforced silicon carbide (SiC) matrix composites has been evaluated in this paper. The composites were fabricated through PIP process, and SiC layers were deposited as fiber/matrix interlayers by the isothermal CVD process. Fiber/matrix debonding and relatively long fiber pullouts were observed on the fracture surfaces. The mechanical properties were investigated using three-point bending test and single-edge notched beam test. The T800-HB/SiC composites exhibited high mechanical strength, and the flexural strength and fracture toughness were 511.5MPa and 20.8MPa•m1/2, respectively.

The low-cost production and performance of 6061-aluminium alloy matrices reinforced with coated silicon carbide particulate has been studied. The micro-wave vacuum sintering was adopted to prepare the composite in order that the loss ignition is very small. The effect of copper coated silicon carbide has proved beneficial to interfacial bonding and improved the mechanical properties. Differences in the fracture characteristics of specimens containing coated and non-coated particles were observed. The particulates size has much influence on mechanical properties.
