Measurement and analysis of the structural performance of cellular metal sandwich construction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bending performance of sandwich construction with thin cellular metal cores has been measured and simulated. A mechanism map has been generated to characterize the predominant failure phenomena based upon collapse load criteria for face yielding, core shear and indentation. A previously developed constitutive law for the core material has been incorporated into numerical simulations. Comparisons have been made with the measured response. Initial discrepancies attributed to a core thinness e!ect were recti"ed by inputting core shear properties measured onmaterials having the same thickness. Analytical estimates for the sti!ness, yield load and limit load are compared with the numerical simulations and experimental results. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Improving the Performance of the Sandwich Panel with the Corrugated Core Filled with Metal Foam: Mathematical and Numerical Methods
A new type of composite structure with a metal foam is reinforced by the metal corrugated core, called metal-foam-filled sandwich panel with a corrugated or V-frame core, is modelled, simulated, and studied in this article. All types of samples with different relative densities of the foam are tested and analyzed under the drop hammer load. The sandwich panel included two aluminium face-sheet, ...
