The mechanical properties of certain flexible core materials ship structure sandwich panels, having skins made metallic or composite laminates maybe significantly influenced by the temperature variations that may occur during operational loading. At same time, improving knowledge behaviour these panels in terms bending strength and other stress/strain related aspects various harsh conditions in...

The main objective of the present work is to study the present situation of the precast construction industry in India. Suggestions for improvement of the industry and study on cost effectiveness of precast concrete construction for single and multi-story residential buildings are to be given. A literature survey was carried out in order to obtain the comparison between the conventional buildin...

This numerical study compares single-phase forced convective heat transfer between two sandwich panels with tetrahedral metallic lattice cores separately fabricated by investment casting and the more cost-effective metal sheet folding method. The numerical model is validated against available experimental data. For a given Reynolds number and core porosity, the results reveal that the brazed sa...

Abstract Sandwich panels in the construction industry are used as roof and facade elements usually consist of two thin face layers steel a thicker core polyurethane (PU) or mineral wool between. The PU material is constantly being further developed. In addition to improvements physical properties, this development also leads changes mechanical properties. As result, design rules that were estab...
