TL;DR: In this article, it was found that the foam core stabilises the pins against elastic buckling, and the pin-reinforced core has a strength and energy absorption capacity in excess of the individual contributions from the foam and unsupported pins.

TL;DR: In this article, a curved sandwich panel with two aluminium face sheets and an aluminium foam core under air blast loadings was investigated experimentally, and the experimental data showed that the initial curvature of a curved panel may change the deformation/collapse mode with an extended range for bending dominated deformation, which suggests that the performance of the sandwich shell structures may exceed that of both their equivalent solid counterpart and a flat sandwich plate.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact response of sandwich panels with an improved structure to increase their impact resistance is investigated, and a specific and instrumented ball drop tester was designed and developed.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of foam infill on the blast resistivity of corrugated steel core sandwich panels was investigated experimentally using a shock tube facility and high speed photography and numerically through Finite Element Methods (FEM).

TL;DR: In this article, a new test method that subjects the bondline between the core and face sheets to a shear stress singularity is presented and studied analytically by laminated beam shear deformation theory and experimentally on glass/polyester face sheets on balsa wood core sandwich beams.
Abstract: Debonding failure of cored composite materials is investigated herein. A new test method that subjects the bondline between the core and face sheets to a shear stress singularity is presented and studied analytically by laminated beam shear deformation theory and experimentally on glass/polyester face sheets on balsa wood core sandwich beams.
