in this paper, the effect of different boundary conditions on the free vibration analysis response of a sandwich plates is presented using higher order shear deformation theory. the face sheets are orthotropic laminated composite that follow the first order shear deformation theory (fsdt) based on rissners-mindlin (rm) kinematics field. based on energy method and hamilton's principle, the ...

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...

Plant leaves commonly exhibit a thin, flat structure that facilitates a high light interception per unit mass, but may increase risks of mechanical failure when subjected to gravity, wind and herbivory as well as other stresses. Leaf laminas are composed of thin epidermis layers and thicker intervening mesophyll layers, which resemble a composite material, i.e. sandwich structure, used in engin...

Sandwich structures with foldcores are regarded as a promising alternative to conventional honeycomb sandwich structures as lightweight structural materials. One of the proposed applications of foldcore sandwich structures is on the aircraft fuselage and the interstage of a rocket. While flat foldcore sandwich structures have been intensively studied in the literature, there lacks a general des...

We investigate the supersecondary structure of a large group of proteins, the so-called sandwich proteins. The analysis of a large number of such proteins has led us to propose a set of rules that can be used to predict the possible arrangements of strands in the two beta-sheets forming a given sandwich structure. These rules imply the existence of certain invariant supersecondary substructures...

The objective of this work is to study the large deflection of geometrically asymmetric metal foam core sandwich beam under transverse loading by a fiat punch. A yield criterion is proposed for geometrically asymmetric metal foam core sandwich structures, and then analytical solution for the large deflection of a fully clamped slender sandwich beam is obtained, in which the interaction of bendi...

DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d) calculations were performed to examine the feasibility of graphene-like C42H18 and starbenzene C6(BeH)6 (SBz) polymers as ligands of 3D-extensible sandwich compounds (3D-ESCs) with uninterrupted sandwich arrays. The results revealed that sandwich compounds with three or more C42H18 ligands were not feasible. The possible reason may be the localization of π electrons on certai...

Sandwich materials made of two aluminum sheets and a crumpled core have been manufactured for the first time using reproducible process. This very specific aims to drastically improve elasticity performance indexes sandwich. The structure has studied mainly in bending.
