A homogenization method for geometric nonlinear analysis of sandwich structures with initial imperfections

TLDR
In this article, a homogenization method for geometric nonlinear analysis of structural core sandwich panels is proposed, which provides high computational performance based on an efficient separation of scales and allows for description of buckling in these two scales and is shown to hold good accuracy with respect to equivalent 3D FEM models.

Progress in the Analysis and Design of Marine Structures : Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Marine Structures (MARSTRUCT 2017), May 8-10, 2017, Lisbon, Portugal

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of static and dynamic characterization tests on the as built catamaran model was conducted to provide a reliable and well identified physical model before the towingtank tests were carried out for giving key insights into the wetdeck load and responses as well as an FSI validation dataset for numerical solvers.

A review on non-classical continuum mechanics with applications in marine engineering

TL;DR: Marine structures are advanced material and structural assemblies that span over different length scales. The classical structural design approach is to separate these length scales as mentioned in this paper. But this approach is not suitable for many applications.

Buckling of sandwich panels with transversely flexible core: Correction of the equivalent single-layer model using thick-faces effect:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors represent a sandwich panel as a two-dimensional plate of equivalent stiffness, and model a periodic structure as a homogeneous continuum, which allows for an effective structural analysis.
