Abstract
This paper presents the prediction of flexural performance of sandwich beams under compressive loads using MATLAB programming. Polyurethane (PU) foam filled with Glass Fibre Reinforced Polyester recyclates (rGFRP) is used as sandwich core. The rGFRP filler in the sandwich core is expected to increase the rigidity of the foam and produce stiffer and stronger composites structures. Compression and tensile tests are conducted on the core and skin samples respectively to obtain the Young Modulus property. MATLAB programming is used as an analysis tool to analyse parameters such as the maximum deflection, stiffness and maximum bending stress. The relationships between these parameters are illustrated in the form of graphs. The results show that the increase of weight percentage of rGFRP in the polyurethane foam enhances the mechanical properties of composites sandwich beam samples.
