Sandwich composite materials are considered a special class of composite materials due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio. Sandwich structures are composed of two fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) skins that sandwich a low-density rigid foam core, providing high flexural stiffness and improved high specific energy absorption capability. The increasing need for new cost-effective and reliable materials is evident in automotive, aerospace, marine industries, and various domestic applications such as roofing panels. The performance of sandwich composite laminates (SCL) depends entirely on the properties of their constituent materials and flexural stiffness determined by the geometry of the component. Analytical procedures, such as implementing Finite Element Analysis (FEA), have been employed to investigate effects and compare experimental results with analytical findings. In evaluating the static performance of SCL, a simple sandwich roofing panel is being designed, fabricated, and tested under static bending conditions.
