The current paper is intended to provide an overview on the current state of the art for
sandwich structures marine applications to support their wider application and identify the …

It is a challenging task to advance the excellent strength and structural performance of
sandwich structures, while continuing to reduce the weight and cost parameters. Thousands …

This work describes the low-velocity impact behavior of composite sandwich panels with
different types of auxetic (negative Poisson's ratio) and non-auxetic prismatic core structures …

The study of phononic materials and structures is an emerging discipline that lies at the
crossroads of vibration and acoustics engineering and condensed matter physics. Broadly …

This work describes the high-velocity impact behavior of doubly curved sandwich panels.
The sandwich panels are manufactured using carbon/fiber epoxy composite face sheets …

The use of lightweight aluminium sandwiches in the shipbuilding industry represents an
attractive and interesting solution to the increasing environmental demands. The aim of this …

Sandwich structures have been widely employed to build lightweight components having
good mechanical properties and energy absorbing capacity, especially in the transport …

Solid bodies containing cracks can be characterized by defining a state of stress near a
crack tip and the energy balance coupled with fracture. Introducing the Westergaard's …

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

Sandwich structures are fast becoming prevalent in engineering fields due to their maximal
stiffness coupled with minimal mass. However, additional to the commonly examined impact …
