Abstract The thermal analysis is performed on a heated Inconel 617 honeycomb-core sandwich panel. Sandwich panel is supported at its four edges with spar-like sub-structures that acted as heat sinks, which are generally not considered in the classical analysis. One side of the panel is subjected to a heat flux on the surface. Two types of surface heating were considered: (1) hexagonal honeycomb...

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, ...

In this paper, the vibrational and buckling analysis of a cylindrical sandwich panel with an elastic core under thermo-mechanical loadings is investigated. The modeled cylindrical sandwich panel as well as its equations of motions and boundary conditions is derived by Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). For the first time in the present study, various bound...

in this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. the core of sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and k-aryl/epoxy covering. the governing equations are deduced from the first order sheer deformation theory (fsdt) and they are solved using generalized differential quadrature metho...

in this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow i-core subjected to blast loading was studied. special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. the material and geo...

In a Z-core sandwich panel, the shear stiffness of the sandwich panel in the weak direction which is perpendicular to the placement of the Z-cores is much smaller than the bending stiffness because the hollow section between the two facing plates cannot sustain shear action. Because of this fact, the shear deformation of a Z-core sandwich panel under bending in the weak direction cannot be igno...

Auxetic cellular solids in the forms of honeycombs and foams have great potential in a diverse range of applications, including as core material in curved sandwich panel composite components, radome applications, directional pass band filters, adaptive and deployable structures, filters and sieves, seat cushion material, energy absorption components, viscoelastic damping materials and fastening...

aluminum foams are a novel branch of advanced materials with superior properties. sandwich structures with aluminum foam core are good energy absorbers. in this paper, mechanical properties and energy absorption of aluminum foam sandwich panels subjected to quasi-static perforation tests with conical-nosed indenter were investigated experimentally. for this purpose sandwich panels consisting of...
