Introduction of artificial damage in sandwich panel is performed applying two alternative methods: low-velocity drop weight impact and quasi-static indentation. The low-velocity impact tests are performed according to ASTM D7766 and ASTM D7136, where a flat, rectangular plate specimen is subjected to an out-of-plane instrumented impact with a hemispherical impactor tip. Quasi-static indentation is carried out according to ASTM D6264 set-up, where a flat, square composite plate is loaded with concentrated quasi-static force by slowly pressing a hemispherical indenter into panel`s outer surface.
