In this paper a special sandwich panel with a sinusoidal core under distributed load on upper and lower plates has been studied. By drawing free body diagrams, and using energy method and Castagiliano theory the forces and moments involved in the core has been determined. Then, the stresses, normal and horizontal displacements due to above forces and moments are calculated. In order to ensure t...

Abstract This article re-examines the nonlinear vibration and bending responses of porous sandwich cylindrical panels reinforced by graphene platelets resting on elastic foundations in thermal environments. The platelet-reinforced composite (GPLRC) core is assumed to be multilayers, each layer may have different porosity coefficient values achieve a piece-wise functionally graded pattern. By in...

The free vibration analysis of the functionally graded cylindrical shell panels  with and without cutout is carried out using the finite element method based on a higher-order shear deformation theory. A higher-order theory is used to properly account for transverse shear deformation. An eight noded degenerated isoparametric shell element with nine degrees of freedom at each node is considered....

In this paper, the non-linear dynamic response of novel steel sandwich panel with hollow I-core subjected to blast loading was studied. Special emphasis is placed on the evaluation of midpoint displacements and energy dissipation of the models. Several parameters such as boundary conditions, strain rate, mesh dependency and asymmetrical loading are considered in this study. The material and geo...

in this paper, the behavior of free vibrations and buckling of the sandwich panel with a flexible core was investigated using a new improved ‎high-order sandwich panel theory. in this theory, equations of motion were formulated based on shear stresses in the core. first-order shear deformation theory was ‎applied for the procedures. in this theory, for the first time, incompatibility problem of...

This paper presents a novel method for rapid fabrication and prototyping of low-density carbon fiber sandwich panel cores based on laser beam cutting (LBC). Using LCB, sandwich panels with lattice core constructions with oblique and vertical strut morphologies were fabricated from two fiber-orientation architectures. Scanning electron microscopy images illustrate the relatively small extent of ...
