A study on the bending response of a composite curved panel with pyramidal metallic truss cores suitable for functional applications is presented using a combination of analytical modeling, three-point bending experiments and finite element (FE) based simulations. The aluminum pyramidal cores were constructed using an interlocking method before curing with composite face sheets to fabricate the...
