General note Lightweight design is one of the key characteristics of engineering design, as light weight not only<br/>reduces operational cost but also reduces the impact on environment due to lesser fuel<br/>consumption. The use of sandwich structures is an important advancement in this regard, as<br/>sandwich structures use geometrically efficient design to reduce weight and offer superior<br/>properties like increased specific strength and stiffness, better fatigue and impact resistance,<br/>thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance as compared to their metallic counterparts.<br/>Sandwich structures, specifically with honeycomb core and fiber reinforced composite face sheets<br/>have been extensively used in aerospace, ship building, rail industry, military and auto motives.<br/>Impact loading, especially low velocity impact, is one of the most critical loading scenario for<br/>sandwich structures, as impact can cause strength degradation and barely visible damage, which<br/>can compromise the structural integrity. In recent times, most of the research has focused on<br/>improving the impact resistance of honeycomb sandwich structures by filling honeycomb with a<br/>filler material because the porous structure of honeycomb cells is the weakest region against impact<br/>loads, especially against oblique impact. This research also focuses on improving the impact<br/>resistance of conventional honeycomb by addition of aluminum grid and foam in honeycomb (HC)<br/>to produce a hybrid honeycomb (HHC) core sandwich panel. Impact tests are carried out using<br/>drop weight method at 30J and 45J for both conventional HC and HHC core and results are<br/>recorded in the form of force-displacement, force-time and energy time-response. The testing<br/>shows that HHC sustained higher peak force and lower displacement as compared to conventional<br/>HC core. The performance index, which compares the performance of HHC with conventional<br/>HC, for HHC-foam impact was 1.31 and 1.26 times for 30J and 45J respectively while for HHCgrid impact was 1.14 and 1.16 times for 30J and 45J respectively, highlighting the improved impact<br/>resistance of HHC core sandwich panels. Damage characterization through macroscopic damage<br/>analysis for damage on surface as well as internal damage was also performed highlighting the<br/>various damage modes like delamination, matrix cracking, core crushing and core buckling among<br/>other.
