The deflection and fracture of metal sandwich plates subjected to intense uniform impulsive pressure loads are studied for plates made of four steels representing a wide range of strength, strain hardening and ductility. Sandwich plates with both square honeycomb cores and folded plate cores are considered. The primary fracture modes of the sandwich plates are necking and subsequent tearing of ...

The impact of a slug of dry sand particles against a metallic sandwich beam or circular sandwich plate is analysed in order to aid the design of sandwich panels for shock mitigation. The sand particles interact via a combined linear-spring-and-dashpot law whereas the face sheets and compressible core of the sandwich beam and plate are treated as rate-sensitive, elastic–plastic solids. The major...

the aim of this study was to determine the microleakage at the cervical margin of the class II composite resin syntac with and without a cervical amalgam base and to compare microleakage restoration at the occlusal margins of restorations and inferface of amalgam and composite.68 extracted sound permanent premolar were used.68 class II slot cavities were prepared in these teth.the teeth were ra...

The advanced Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) manufacturing technologies make the synthesis of Variable Angle Tow (VAT) composites, which enable design lightweight sandwich structures to possess variable stiffness facesheets. However, both global and local instability phenomena VAT plates under in-plane compressive loads are rarely explored till now. objective this article is fill gap by develop...

This paper reports on analytical work, as well as experimental testing, that were accomplished at the Ames Research Center and at the Marshall Space Flight Center to examine acoustic wave propagating and the ability to detect intrinsic faults in sandwich type composite structures. Sandwich type composites are being studied for use in NASAs new heavy lift launch vehicle and flaw detection is cru...

Carbon fiber-synthetic foam core sandwich composites are widely used for many structural applications due to their superior mechanical performance and low weight. Unfortunately these structures typically have very poor acoustic performance. There is increasingly growing demand in mitigating this noise issue in sandwich composite structures. This study shows that marrying carbon fiber composites...

In the present article, the dynamic behavior of sandwich plates with embedded shape memory alloy (SMA) wires is evaluated for two cases wherein (i) the stress-strain curve of the superelastic behavior of the SMA wires is symmetric and (ii) the mentioned curve is non-symmetric. A modified version of Brinson’s constitutive model is proposed and used. The high non-linearity in the behavior stems f...

This study is limited to study of buckling analysis of a sandwich cylindrical shell with functionally graded face sheets and homogenous core. High-order sandwich plate theory is improved by considering the in-plane stresses of the core that usually are ignored in the analysis of sandwich structures. Assume that all properties of the face sheets and the core are temperature dependent. Strain com...
