TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for characterizing the structural performance of all-metallic sandwich panels with truss and prismatic cores is presented and demonstrated for panels with pyramidal truss cores.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and computational study of the bending response of steel sandwich panels with corrugated cores in both transverse and longitudinal loading orientations has been performed, and it has been shown that when failure initiation is controlled by yielding, appreciable hardening follows the initial nonlinearity.

TL;DR: Numerical simulations that incorporate a biochemomechanical model for the contractility of the cytoskeleton have been used to rationalize the following observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element simulation of the core shear response was performed and the results demonstrated robust behavior beyond the limit load, when combined with the constitutive properties of the face sheet material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the responses of metallic plates and sandwich panels to localized impulse were examined by using a dynamic plate test protocol supported by simulations. Butler et al. found that the honeycomb panel is superior to a solid plate when subjected to a planar impulse, but inferior when localized.
