Nonlinear finite element analysis is conducted to predict initiation of debond propagation in compression loaded foam cored sandwich panels containing a circular face/core debond embedded at the panel center. A three-dimensional geometrically nonlinear finite element model of the debonded sandwich panel combined with linear elastic fracture mechanics is used to determine the stress intensity factors KI and KII and energy release rate at the debond (crack) front parallel and perpendicular to the applied load. A range of core densities and debond sizes are analyzed. The opening mode (mode I) was found to dominate the fracture process. The critical load for crack propagation predicted using fracture mechanics concepts was found to agree with measured collapse loads for smaller debonds, but fell below measured debond propagation loads for larger debonds. In all cases the predicted direction of crack propagation was perpendicular to the loading direction, in agreement with experimental observations.
