ABSTRACT:
In a sandwich structure having a honeycomb core between a pair of composite face sheets, an insert is provided that passes through such structure. The insert terminates in an opening, flush or below the top face sheet and has a flange which overlaps and contacts the face sheet from below. Such opening can receive attaching hardware and a fastener which clamps the attaching hardware against the face sheet and the flange below, for good thermal conductivity between attaching hardware and the face sheet and thus the core and the bottom face sheet of the sandwich structure. This permits a heat source mounted, e.g., in a spacecraft, to a sandwich wall by attaching hardware, to more readily discharge excess heat through such wall and to an exterior face sheet for improved heat conduction and radiation therefrom.
