Structural performance in direct (pure) shear and three-point bending was investigated for sandwich panels with a carbon fiber pyramidal truss core. Analytical estimates for sandwich panel strength for each loading condition were presented for possible competing failure modes. In the experimental part of the study, pyramidal truss cores were made using the hot press molding technique and then a...

Abstract Wood composite panels (WCP) are well known for their environmentally friendly attributes of being sustainable, renewable, biodegradable, and predominantly made from wood residues generated during lumber plywood production. This paper focuses on the ability WCPs to store carbon long periods time in nonstructural applications such as cabinets, furniture, flooring. WCPs, include particleb...

The phenomenon of separation into constituent layers connecting the core and laminate a composite sandwich complex is vital complication that leads to early failure such material. direction construction's exfoliation rigidity increased between interlaminar low fiber augmentation. bioinspired technique hybrid material was used on an aluminium face sheet with interlayer composition PET foam glass...

This paper presents experimental investigations carried out on various composite floor deck panel systems. The effects of parameters such as concrete shear length, steel thickness, and thickness the flexural behavior panels were examined. Shear tests identical specimens with four different span lengths. Four-point single-span double-span specimens. stress-slip, load-deformation, moment-curvatur...

In this study, the buckling behavior of moderately thick Carbon Nano-Tube (CNT)-reinforced spherical composite panels subjected to both uniaxial and biaxial loads is examined. The uniform and various kinds of functionally graded distributions of the CNT are considered. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposite panels are estimated using the modified rule of mixture. Based on the first-orde...

In the present study, multiscale nanosilica/E-glass/epoxy anisogrid composite panels were investigated for flexural properties as a function of nanosilica loading in the matrix (0, 1, 3 and 5 wt.%). The surface of the silica nanoparticles was firstly modified with 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (3-GPTS). The fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed that the organic functional ...
