Single Layer Model

Modeling a periodic structure as a homogeneous continuum allows for an effective structural analysis. This approach represents a sandwich panel as a two-dimensional plate of equivalent stiffness. Known as the equivalent single-layer, the method is used here to analyze bifurcation buckling of three types of sandwich panels with unidirectional stiffeners in the core: truss-core, web-core and corrugated-core panels made of an isotropic material. The transverse shear stiffnesses of these panels can differ by several orders of magnitude, which cause incorrect buckling analysis when using the equivalent single-layer model with the first-order shear deformation theory. Analytical solution of the problem predicts critical buckling loads that feature infinite number of half-waves in the direction perpendicular to the stiffeners. Finite element model also predicts buckling modes that have non-physical, saw-tooth shape with infinite curvature at nodes. However, such unrealistic behavior is not observed when using detailed three-dimensional finite element models. The error in the prediction of the critical buckling load is up to 85% for the cases considered here. The correction of the equivalent single-layer model is proposed by modeling the thick-faces effect to ensure finite curvature. This is performed in the finite element setting by introducing an additional plate with tied deflections to the equivalent single-layer plate. The extra plate is represented with bending and transverse shear stiffness of the face plates. As a result, global buckling is predicted accurately. Guidelines are proposed to identify the sandwich panels where ordinary model is incorrect. Truss-core and web-core sandwich panels need the correction. Corrugated-core panels without a gap between plates in the core have smaller shear orthotropy and do not need the correction. Modeling the thick-faces effect ensures correct results for all cases considered in this study, and thus one should resort to this approach in case of uncertainty whether the ordinary equivalent single-layer model is valid.

Recently, sandwich structures have been widely used in different fields because of their good mechanical properties, but these structures are weak in acoustic performance. In this paper, by combining pyramidal truss core sandwich structure with frame, a new structure is proposed with both good mechanical properties and excellent acoustic performance at low frequency. An analytical model of the pyramidal truss core sandwich structure with frame is developed to investigate the sound transmission loss (STL) performance. Finite element method (FEM) is also used to investigate the STL performance at low frequency. The effects of the incident wave angle and the geometrical parameters on the STL of the structure are discussed.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of bending performance of composite sandwich panels with new mixed core, sandwich panels were tested by four-point bending test. Parametric study was conducted to investigate the influence of different core materials on the failure mode, ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness and ductility of composite sandwich panels. The results of the experimental investigation showed that the mixed core can change the failure mode of sandwich panels. The failure mode of wooden panels is characterized by tensile failure of bottom wood, and the failure mode of composite sandwich panels with wood core is that the surface layer and core are stripped and the webs are damaged by shear, while the failure mode of composite sandwich panels with wood and polyurethane foam mixed core is the shear failure of the web. Composite sandwich panels with GFRP-wood-polyurethane foam core have better bending performance and can effectively reduce the weight of panels.
