Sandwich panel with central core honeycomb aluminum as one of the main shielding structures because of their high strength-to-weight ratio and improved energy absorption capacity, has been attracted the attention of many researchers and practitioners in recent years. This paper initiates and presents a new type of central core honeycomb formed by hydroforming process. The study is augmented by ...

Auxetic cellular structures have the potential to revolutionise sandwich panel cores due their superior energy absorption capability. Because of negative Poisson's ratio, auxetics behave counterintuitively and contract orthogonally under an applied compressive force, resulting in a densification material vicinity load. This study investigates three compares absorbing characteristics in-plane ax...

A multi-panel PMC infilled system, using polymer matrix composite (PMC) material, was introduced as new conceptual design for seismic retrofitting. A proposed multi panel PMC infilled system was composed of two basic structural components: inner PMC sandwich infills and outer FRP damping panels. The PMC material had high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios. Therefore, the addition...

An on-panel readout circuit for touch panel application has been designed and fabricated in a 3-μm low temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) technology. The minimum detectable voltage difference of the proposed circuit is 30 mV. The switch-capacitor technique is applied to amplify the voltage difference from capacitance change due to touch panel. The corrected double-sampling (CDS) technique is also ...

Honeycomb core panels are commonly used in industry as lightweight structures. However, because the bond between face plate and regular hexagonal is weak, there strength problems, such heat shear loads. In this study, a new cubic panel was developed an alternative to honeycomb panel. Unlike conventional panels, cores can be processed from single flat by punching bending. Through square contact ...

The main bottleneck during the manufacture of complex geometry thin-walled GFRC structures is time taken to make timber or CNC machined moulds for each panel. Complex geometries are comprised many unique panel forms and extensive high costs their often prevents architectural intent from being fully realised. A novel mould-making process proposed that uses a state-of-the-art flexible table with ...
