QUASI-STATIC COLLAPSE OF SANDWICH PANELS

Sandwich panels, which consist of two rigid, thin face sheets adhered to a low-density, thick and weaker core, are promising solutions for lightweight design due to their superior structural strength and energy absorption. Several decades of research have been conducted on combinations of face sheets and core types, and the topic has never lost its appeal to engineers and scientists. Furthermore, the topic’s popularity will continue due to the development of new materials and the demand for high-performance, lightweight structures. Sandwich structures are being utilised in a wide range of applications.
