For this purpose, produced samples were subjected to uniaxial flatwise compression tests and their compression strength and moduli were determined. Obtained results were optimized by taking core thickness, foam density and panel weights into consideration. Damages that occurred on the tested samples were reported. When compared to conventional foam core sandwich composites, it was found that three-dimensional integrated sandwich composites have better compression properties and due to the fact that the pile yarns in the core and the foam support each other.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMaterials sciencePolymer scienceThree-dimensional integrated sandwich compositesQuasi-static propertiesDamage tolerance3d orthogonal weaveTensile propertiesMechanical performanceWovenPanelsCompression testingDamage toleranceFoamsPilesThree dimensionalWeavingCompression loadingCompression propertiesCompression strengthCompression testsFoam core sandwichesIntegrated coreQuasi-staticSandwich compositesLoadingArticle0003176119000012-s2.0-84875743151289299325Materials science compositesPolymer scienceTufting; Composite Laminates; Delamination
