Testing
Testing Apparatus consists of a servo hydraulic testing machine, thermal chamber(-100--500), thermal isolator, three 0r four point bending fixture, DIC cameras and computer as shown in Figure 3 . Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is mainly used here to measure strain of the specimen.
Objective: Develop a qualified experiment system to identify the extent of the degradation of polymeric foam sandwich structures. Understand how the mechanical property of foam cores and composite material face sheets varies with temperature, and their contribution to the degradation of sandwich structures. Methodology
Polymeric Foam Sandwich Structure

Temperature Gradient It is also very important to research the thermal degradation of polymeric foam sandwich structure when it is under temperature gradient, which exists a lot in industry, as shown in Figure 5 .

Research Plan Design experiment apparatus, mainly about the fixture design for different kinds of specimen. Familiarization with DIC . Foam, Laminate Sheets and Sandwich Structure will all be tested, including tension, compression, shear and buckling. Temperature varies from -100 to 200 . Develop a qualified full-scale rig to experimentally model thermal degradation. The experimental data obtained will be used to implement the nonlinear plate/shell model into a general purpose FEA environment and the development of general nonlinear analysis procedures in general purpose finite element analysis (FEA) packages.
