A recently developed sandwich plate twist test is employed here for determination of the transverse shear modulus of the core and twist stiffness (D 66 ) of a sandwich panel consisting of a soft (H45 PVC foam) core and glass/vinylester face sheets. The shear modulus of the H45 PVC foam core extracte
