Abstract
In this study in plane shear tests on sandwich plates were performed using two different experimental set-ups. Failure modes, as well as maximum failure loads were compared with predictions using sandwich calculation equations given by Zenkert and Plantema. It could be shown, that the prediction of failure load and mode was quite consistent with measurements for panels of 10mm thickness or more. Very thin panels could not be predicted correctly.
