State-Of-The-Art of Sandwich Composite Structures: Manufacturing—to—High Performance Applications

This cutting-edge review highlights the fundamentals, design, and manufacturing strategies used for sandwich composites. Sandwich composite structures have advantages of light weight, high strength, impact resistance, stability, other superior features advanced applications. In this regard, different core materials been in structures, such as cellular polymer foam, metallic honeycomb, balsa, tubular, geometries. Among these, honeycomb effectively applied space engineering, marine construction The foremost techniques sandwiched include hand lay-up, press method, prepreg vacuum bagging/autoclave, assisted resin infusion, transfer molding, compression pultrusion, three-dimensional (3D) printing, four-dimensional (4D) etc. manufacturing, autoclave processes method choice aerospace industry due to less delamination between plies easy control thickness dimensions. Moreover, machining composites are discussed article. addition aerospace, high-performance significance is covered mainly relation automobile engineering energy absorption structure-, fabrication-, application-related challenges probable future research directions also
