Results of sandwich composite static and fatigue loading are presented. To discern cracking in various constituents of the sandwich composite, AE technique is used. Core damage has been found to be the predominant failure activity. Fiber rupture triggered the onset of catastrophic failure. Mode I cracking was observed in the core while fiber rupture took place in mode I.
