Sandwich structures usually consist of high-strength thin skins bonded to a significantly
thicker, less dense, and weaker core material. Sandwich structures are most useful in …

The development of additive manufacturing methods known as “3D printing” started in the
1980s. In these methods, spatial models are created from a semi-finished product such as a …

This work presents a comparative study on the reliability of auxetic (re-entrant honeycomb)
and non-auxetic (diamond lattice and conventional honeycomb) lattice composites. The …

Impact, compression after impact, and tensile stiffness properties of carbon fiber and Kevlar
combination sandwich composites were investigated in this study. The different samples …

The application of single homogeneous materials produced through the fused deposition
modelling (FDM) technology restricts the production of high-level multi-material components …

An investigation was conducted of failure modes and criteria for their occurrence in
composite sandwich beams. The initiation of the various failure modes depends on the …

Composite sandwich structures are susceptible to low velocity impact damage and thorough
characterization of the loading and damage process during impact is important. The …

The flexural behaviour of a new generation composite sandwich beams made up of glass
fibre-reinforced polymer skins and modified phenolic core material was investigated. The …

The bending and critical buckling loads of a sandwich beam structure subjected to thermal
load and axial compression were simulated and temperature distribution across sandwich …

This study is dedicated to develop a mixed interpolated formulation for nonlinear analysis of
plates and shells. Using Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) theory and the rule of mixture …
