Mechanical performance of marine sandwich panels comprising E-glass/vinyl ester face
sheets and perforated poly-vinyl chloride foam core was evaluated and compared with …

Composite sandwich structure, as the largest part of wind turbine blades, often experiences
complex failure phenomena during full-scale blade testing and wind farm operation. In order …

The paper presented an experimental study on the effect of the resin reinforced core
configuration and core thickness on in-plane compressive responses and failure behaviors …

This study investigates fracture behaviour of sandwich structures with foam core slits. These
slits are typically machined in the foam core materials to improve manufacturability but …

In the present paper, lightweight wood-based foam core panels were produced in a novel
continuous process. Expandable microspheres (MS) and expandable polystyrene (EPS) …

This study provides a new perspective on the failure of sandwich panels in a composite wind
turbine blade. Fractographic characteristics of fracture regions are examined thoroughly …

The compressive mechanical properties, failure modes and foam filler strengthening
mechanism and effect of a short basalt fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composite grid beetle …

In this paper, a novel implementation of the Lattice Discrete Element Method (LDEM) is
proposed: in particular, the LDEM is implemented in the Ansys LS-DYNA finite element …

The aim of this study was to improve four-point bending performance of foam core sandwich
composite beams by applying various core machining configurations. Sandwich composites …

This study presents a novel sandwich structure that replaces the polypropylene (PP) foam
core with a carbon fiber non-woven material in the tufting process and the liquid resin …
