Experimental and numerical evaluation of the mechanical behaviour of GFRP sandwich panels

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic experimental study and numerical simulations have shown that the theoretical prediction of the strength and actual failure mechanism of these sandwich structures can be affected by significant errors, specially in the presence of prevalent shear loading.

High‐Order Theory for Sandwich‐Beam Behavior with Transversely Flexible Core

TL;DR: In this paper, a general high-order theory based on variational principles is presented for the bending behavior of a sandwich beam with a core that is vertically flexible, which embodies a rigorous and systematic approach to the analysis of such structures, which have highorder effects caused by the nonlinearity of the longitudinal and the transverse deformations of the core through the height.

Failure mode maps for honeycomb sandwich panels

TL;DR: In this article, failure modes for sandwich beams of GFRP laminate skins and Nomex honeycomb core are investigated and a failure mode map for loading under 3-point bending is constructed, showing the dependence of failure mode and load on the ratio of skin thickness to span length and honeycomb relative density.

Failure mode maps for foam core sandwich beams

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a failure mode map, with axes of core relative density and the ratio of face thickness to span length, which, for a given loading configuration and set of face and solid core materials, shows the dominant failure mode for every possible beam design.
