The aim of the article is to compare the experimental investigation of deflection of the sandwich composite beam with theoretical models. The experimental test specimens were composed of three layers. Skins were made using epoxy-resin-impregnated glass laminates with plain weave. The light weight foam Divinycell H100 was used as sandwich core. The three-point bending test was carried out. Fibre-optic strain gauges, SOFO SMARTape Compact deformation sensors, were used for determining the deflection of the sandwich composite structure. Experimentally obtained data were used for comparison with theoretical models – sandwich theory with the transverse shear, sandwich theory without the transverse shear, laminate theory with the transverse shear and laminate theory without the transverse shear.
