Evaluation of Damage resistance of sandwich cores to indentation or impact on composites by ASTM D7766. The results obtained are helpful in product development and material selection while considering the damage resistance capability of sandwich structures in processing and environmental conditions.
Scope:
Structures made using sandwich constructions are susceptible to damage by concentrated out-of-plane forces. Such primary design concerns can be taken care of by knowing the damage resistance properties of a sandwich panel. The ASTM D7766 test calculates damage after a quasi-static indentation or a drop-weight impact of sandwich cores (including continuous (foams) and discontinuous bonding surfaces (honeycomb). The properties obtained using ASTM D7766 are helpful in product development and material selection while considering the damage resistance capability of sandwich structures concerning thickness, stiffness, geometry, stacking sequence, and other processing and environmental variables.
Test Procedure:
There are three procedures A, B, and C in this test. Procedure A (in-plane damage, face) and Procedure B (out-of-plane damage, edge-supported) are carried out for indentation by ASTM D6264. Procedure C takes care of impact and is done using ASTM D7136 (drop weight impact, edge supported). Surface and through-thickness damage after impact or indentation for each specimen is measured and recorded. Damage resistance is then calculated.
Data:
Results of damage resistance of sandwich constructions by ASTM D7766 test is given in terms of Impact energy and Failure type/mode

The ASTM D2674 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
