Shear crimping is a general panel instability failure mode which manifests as a short wavelength buckle. This failure is caused by the low shear modulus of the sandwich core. The shear crimping allowable force is a function of the core depth (tcore), the shear stiffness in the direction of loading, and the facesheet thickness.
See the HME document for more information.
