Abstract
Debonding failure of cored marine composite materials is investigated. A new test method that subjects the bond line between the core and the face sheets to a shear stress singularity is presented and studied analytically by laminated beam shear deformation theory, numerically by the finite element method, and experimentally with specimens of glass/polyester face sheets on balsa wood or PVC core sandwich beams.
