Panel Structure
A composite panel is built as a five-layer sandwich: skin — adhesive — core — adhesive — skin. The logic mirrors that of a structural I-beam — the two face skins handle bending and in-plane loads, while the core in between resists shear forces.
Skins are the outermost faces of the panel and bear the greatest structural demand, making material selection especially important. Adhesive layers bond each skin to the core. Core occupies the space between the two adhesive layers and, despite typically being lightweight and lower in density, plays a decisive role in the panel's overall performance. Its thickness is what gives the sandwich its bending stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a composite panel?
A composite panel consists of two metal layers and a core layer, usually made of foam insulation. Known for being lightweight yet strong, composite panels are ideal for applications requiring structural support and thermal insulation. Common types include Aluminum Composite Panels (ACP) and Honeycomb Structure Panels. -
