Due to their good weight specific mechanical properties, composite sandwich structures have become essential in modern commercial passenger aircraft. Typical applications include external secondary structure components and cabin interior parts (Figure 1). In fact, the vast majority of the cabin furnishing including floor to ceiling lining is made of composite sandwich panels. As secondary aircraft structure, the mechanical strength of the cabin monuments is not crucial for the flight safety of the aircraft. However, the passenger safety is closely linked to the integrity of the cabin.
