In this paper, a new roofing system is introduced, which is constructued using the precast composite sandwich panels. This roofing sandwich panels system consists of three kinds of precast concrete sandwich panels including capital panels, beam or between columns panels, and slab or middle panels. The panels are composed of three layers; A high strength reinforced concrete top layer. A thick la...

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 ...

The mechanical response and fracture of metal sandwich panels subjected to multiple impulsive pressure loads (shocks) were investigated for panels with honeycomb and folded plate core constructions. The structural performance of panels with specific core configurations under multiple impulsive pressure loads is quantified by the maximum transverse deflection of the face sheets and the core crus...

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...

This work examines the performance of composite panels when subjected to underwater impulsive loads. The scaled fluid–structure experimental methodology developed by Espinosa and co-workers was employed. Failure modes, damage mechanisms and their distributions were identified and quantified for composite monolithic and sandwich panels subjected to typical blast loadings. The temporal evolutions...

sandwich panels as composite materials have two external walls of either metallic or polymer type. the space between these walls is filled by hard foam or other materials and the thickness of different layers is based on the final application of the panel. in the present work, the extent of variation in core density of polyether urethane foam and subsequent flexural and compressive changes in s...

The results of an analytical and experimental investigation of 4-ply Kevlar-49-epoxy panels loaded by in-plane shear are presented. Approximately onehalf of the panels are thin-core sandwich panels and the other panels are solid-laminate panels. Selected panels were impacted with an aluminum sphere at a velocity of either 150 or 220 ft/sec. The strength of panels impacted at 150 ft/sec was not ...

Web-reinforced composite sandwich panels exhibit good mechanical properties in one-way bending, but few studies have investigated their flexural behavior and deformation calculation methods under conditions of four simply supported edges. This paper studies the bending performance of and deformation calculation methods for two-way web-reinforced composite sandwich panels with different web spac...

light weight wood base sandwich panels have some special properties and their most important properties is high mechanical strength with its light weight. these panels can replace instead of traditional structural systems in iran. the purpose of this paper is investigating the mechanical properties of light weight wood base sandwich panels that have made from sunflower stalk wastes and particle...
