| Abstract | Sandwich composites are typically produced from two high strength facings bonded to a lower strength, lightweight core. Sandwich design has proven to be efficient for applications demanding high strength and low weight. Wood-based sandwich composites have been largely limited to non-structural applications with the exception of structural insulated panels and balsa core sandwich composites. This research presents a sandwich composite panel composed of oriented strand board (OSB) facings and a three-dimensional molded core produced from wood strands. Three-dimensional molded core panels (3DMCPs) were fabricated and subjected to bending, flatwise compression, in-plane shear, mechanical fastener, and small-scale shear wall testing. Results from these tests were compared to code-approved OSB sheathing to determine the feasibility of using this 3DMCP for structural sheathing applications. |
