TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) model to find the optimal distribution of a given amount of materials in a sandwich-structured composite.
Abstract: A sandwich-structured composite is a special class of composite materials that is fabricated by attaching two thin but stiff layers to a lightweight but thick core Composites analyzed in this paper consist of two different materials: auxetic and structural steel The optimization criterion is minimum compliance for the load case where the frame's top boundary is downward loaded Outer layers are made of steel while the middle layer is two-phase solid material composite Only the middle layer is optimized by means of minimization of the objective function defined as the internal strain energy In the first part of this paper we study the application of the solid isotropic material with penalization (SIMP) model to find the optimal distribution of a given amount of materials in sandwich-structured composite In the second part we propose a multilayered composite structure in which internal layers surfaces are wavy In both cases the total energy strain is analyzed

TL;DR: In this paper, closed-form analytical solutions are presented for the analysis and design of minimum weight composite material hexcell and square cell honeycomb core sandwich and panels subjected to in-plane uniaxial compressive loads.
Abstract: Sandwich construction provides a very lightweight structural configuration for many load conditions The use of composite materials with their high stiffness, high strength, and anisotropy makes sandwich construction even more competitive for many applications It is very desirable to design these structures for minimum weight to insure their most effective use Closed-form analytical solutions are presented herein for the analysis and design of minimum weight, composite material hex-cell and square cell honeycomb core sandwich and panels subjected to in-plane uniaxial compressive loads These methods account for overstressing, overall buckling, core shear instability, face wrinkling, and monocell buckling The optimum face thickness, core depth, cell wall thickness, and cell size are analytically determined The methods insure minimum weight, as well as provide methods to compare various material systems, compare honeycomb sandwich construction with other panel architectures, and assess the weight penalties associated with using nonoptimum honeycomb sandwich constructions A comparison of various polymer, metal, and ceramic matrix composite materials is made by way of example

TL;DR: Sublaminate-GUF as mentioned in this paper is a flexible variable kinematics modeling technique for composite structures, which is particularly useful for sandwich panels, in which different models may be used for the thick, soft core and the thin, stiff skins.
