The effect of initial waviness on the wrinkling of faces in sandwich construction is studied. Formulae are derived to determine the failing stress when the faces wrinkle due to failure of the core in tension, compression or shear. The importance of core strength requirements in maintaining surface smoothness is noted. A comparison of theory with experiments is made, and the agreement between the two is found to be reasonably good.A sandwich construction consists of two thin face layers of high-strength material and a thick core layer of lightweight material. The function of the core is twofold. Firstly, it increases the bending rigidity of the faces and second, it stabilises them so that they will not wrinkle until high stress is reached.

This study presents an explosion-resistant hybrid system containing a steel slab and a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) frame. CFRP, which is a high-strength material, acts as an impact reflection part. Steel slab, which is a high-ductility material, plays a role as an impact energy absorption part. Based on the elastoplastic behavior of steel, a numerical model is proposed to simulate the dynamic responses of the hybrid system under the air pressure from an explosion. Based on this, a case study is conducted to analyze and identify the optimal design of the proposed hybrid system, which is subjected to an impact load condition. The observations from the case study show the optimal thicknesses of 8.2 and 7 mm for a steel slab and a ϕ100 mm CFRP pipe for the hybrid system, respectively. In addition, the ability of the proposed hybrid system to resist an uncertain explosion is demonstrated in the case study based on the reliability methodology.

ABSTRACTCavity nucleation during superplastic deformation of a high strength aluminium alloy has been studied using a high voltage electron microscope and an optical microscope. The results show that cavities nucleation is due only to superplastic deformation and not to pre-existing microvoids which may be introduced during thermomechanical processing. The main reason for cavity nucleation is the high stress concentration at discontinuties in the plane of the grain boundary due to grain boundary sliding.

abstract We model the San Fernando earthquake as a propagating rupture in a half-space, using for the slip-time-history on the fault plane analytical expressions which approximate the slip functions of dynamic crack models obtained by Das and Aki (1977a, b). We synthesize the strong ground motions and accelerations at the Pacoima Dam site and compute the teleseismic signals for different models of cracks. Three major featuras of the data–the strong pulse associated with the beginning of the rupture, the high acceleration phase on the Pacoima Dam records, and the presence of ripples on the teleseismic seismograms–which are not compatible with a smooth rupture process, are well explained by a crack with barriers model where the rupture encounters, along the fault plane, barriers or obstacles of high strength materials which may remain unbroken after the passage of the rupture front. A high-stress drop (400 to 500 bars) is required in the hypocentral area to explain the high-amplitude short-duration first pulse of the teleseismic records. This indicates a high level of tectonic stress in the area. A study of the earthquake series following the main shock shows that the aftershocks which took place in the region where major slipping occurred during the earthquake may represent the release of some of the barriers.
