Fiber composite material panels and sandwich panels possess both a high resistance to weight ratio and a high stiffness to weight ratio. Due to these features, fiber composite panels are used widely in aeronautic and marine structures, where the improvement of the structural performance while keeping a low weight is crucial. Sandwich structures, consisting of a foam core enclosed by two externa...

Abstract The use of thin glass promises to enable a variety construction industry pursuits. In addition the ecological benefits more efficient resources, architects can anticipate new design freedoms with glass. Based on sandwich theory, flexible be combined 3D-printed open-cell polymer core form very rigid yet lightweight composite element. This paper presents an exploratory attempt digital ma...
