Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich systems as primary load-bearing elements are
relatively new concepts in lightweight civil infrastructure. These systems offer a combination …

This review outlines the evolution of sandwich panels based on recent work and older
sources, focusing on the trends concerning sandwich panel achievements and applications …

In this paper, a functionally graded foam model is proposed in order to improve the energy
absorption characteristics offered by uniform foams. In this novel model, the characteristics …

Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) sandwich structure are increasingly used in construction areas
recently for its high strength, light weight and corrosion resistance performance. This paper …

Sandwich panels are composites which consist of two thin laminate outer skins and
lightweight (eg, honeycomb) thick core structure. Owing to the core structure, such …

Sandwich panels, comprised of metallic foam core and face sheets, are widely used to
withstand impact and blast loadings. Based on the actual application requirements, the …

Innovative GFRP-bamboo-wood sandwich beams were developed and investigated
experimentally and by modeling. The effects of the thickness of the GFRP and bamboo …

This paper deals with the development, forming and testing of functional three-layered
metal/polymer/metal sandwich sheets–eg for automotive applications–in order to tailor them …

The large deflections of slender ultralight sandwich beams with a metallic foam core are
studied under transverse loading by a flat punch, in which interaction of bending and …

The crashworthy behaviour of square composite material tubes subjected to static axial
compression under various conditions is reported in this article. The behaviour and the …
