TL;DR: In this article, an all-composite sandwich structure with Y-shaped cores was designed and fabricated by hot-press molding method in order to reveal effects of relative density on mechanical behavior, the out-of-plane compressive tests were carried out on composite sandwich structures with different relative densities, varying from 5.34% to 10.53%.

TL;DR: In this article, a hot-press molding method was developed to manufacture all-composite sandwich panel with tetrahedral truss cores, and the out-of-plane compressive and in-plane shear behaviors of this structure were investigated by experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hot-press molding technique was developed to design and manufacture carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) X-core sandwich panels that allowed both the composite face sheets and its X core to be simultaneously molded together.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature on the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of composite sandwich panels with Y-shaped cores under out-of-plane compression have been studied in a hot-press method using unidirectional carbon/epoxy prepregs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of hygrothermal aging upon the compressive mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) composite sandwich panels with a tetrahedral truss core was investigated.
