I have an aluminum extrusion with a phenolic resin thermal break. The extrusion is in an H shape to receive an aluminum sandwich panel on each side. The panels are 2.5" thick to match the slot between the flanges of the H shape.
The phenolic resin is poured into a cavity in the extrusion. After it hardens, a segment of the aluminum is cut away to provide a thermal break.
I need to compute the axial load and bending load structural capacity of this composite member. How should I compute the composite structural properties of this member?
