Edgewise Compressive Behavior of Composite Structural Insulated Panels with Magnesium Oxide Board Facings

Edgewise Compression Behavior of Three-Dimensional Integrated Woven Sandwich Composite Panels

Composite Behavior of Insulated Concrete Sandwich Wall Panels Subjected to Wind Pressure and Suction

A full-scale experimental test was conducted to analyze the composite behavior of insulated concrete sandwich wall panels (ICSWPs) subjected to wind pressure and suction. The experimental program was composed of three groups of ICSWP specimens, each with a different type of insulation and number of glass-fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) shear grids. The degree of composite action of each specime...

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...

Energy - Efficient Biodegradable Foams for Structural Insulated Panels Curtis

Residential and commercial buildings are responsible for roughly 40 percent of U.S. energy consumption [1]. Within these types of buildings, space heating and cooling was responsible for roughly 36% of the energy consumption in 2005 [2]. Moreover, attributes of the building envelope have a large impact on this energy consumption, namely how much energy is needed to maintain comfortable room tem...
