Optimization of Composite Sandwich Cover Panels Subjected to Compressive Loadings

An analysis and design method is presented for the design of composite sandwich cover panels that includes transverse shear e ects and damage tolerance considerations. This method is incorporated into a sandwich optimization computer program entitled SANDOP. As a demonstration of its capabilities, SANDOP is used in the present study to design optimized composite sandwich cover panels for transp...

Uncertainties in structural dynamics for composite sandwich panels

This paper concerns uncertainties in structural dynamics for composite sandwich panels constituted of two thin carbon-resin skins and one high stiffness closed-cell foam core. Each skin is constituted of two unidirectional plies [60/-60]. Such light composite sandwich panels, manufactured with a same process, generally present a significant dispersion for their Frequency Response Functions (FRF...

Design and commission of an experimental test rig to apply a full-scale pressure load on composite sandwich panels representative of aircraft secondary structure

This paper describes the design of a test rig to apply a representative pressure load to full-scale composite sandwich secondary aircraft structure. A generic panel was designed with features to represent those in composite sandwich secondary aircraft structure. To provide full-field strain data from the panels, the test rig was designed for use with optical measurement techniques such as therm...
