Resumo
In this work, the making of sandwich panels was elaborated. In total, six panels
were produced with different characteristics in relation to the core and the type of
material used, which in the future will become the test specimens of the experiment
carried out.
In summary, a sandwich panel is a structure made up of two faces and a core
in the middle of these and its main objective is to provide a structure with good
mechanical properties, mainly in relation to its flexural rigidity, having a low density.
Starting from this point, for the faces, a composite made of epoxy resin and sisal was
used. And for the cores, honeycombs of different configurations were used, made of
PETG and PLA in the 3D printer.
Sisal is a plant grown in semi-arid regions and is used for commercial purposes,
with the states of Bahia and Paraíba, in Brazil, being the main producers. Sisal fiber is
compared to fiberglass in terms of strength and stiffness, but it is cheaper. In addition,
sisal fiber is non-toxic and does not irritate the worker's skin. All of these factors make
sisal one of the most studied plant fibers.
Three types of different configurations of honeycombs were used, namely
hexagonal, auxetic and hybrid. The honeycombs cores, aim to support the faces of the
sandwich structure, their arrangements based on biomimetics, make them a material
of high mechanical properties and low density. Along with these nuclei, their behavior
in PETG and PLA materials was also tested.
The PETG material performed better when compared to PLA, with the exception
of the hexagonal PETG honeycomb. The best performing honeycomb of the PETG
material had 8.87% more than the best performing PLA. As for the structures of the
cores, the ones that fared better were the cores with auxetic structural configurations
for PETG and hybrid for PLA.
