The bending characteristics of all-composite honeycomb sandwich beams were investigated
by a three-dimensional failure mechanism map and verified by three-point bending tests. In …

Collapse mechanisms of sandwich panels with Miura-ori cores are analysed and
classification of the deformation regimes under three-point bending is proposed. It is …

In this paper, three-dimensional failure mechanism maps are developed to investigate the in-
plane compressive characteristics of all-composite honeycomb sandwich columns and …

In this article, we propose a new class of metal-polymer architected sandwich structures that
exhibit different mechanical behaviors. These lightweight sandwich structures have been …

To improve their energy-absorption capacity and induce failure mechanisms, the plug-type
triggers of composite square tubes are designed and compared. A progressive failure model …

Thermoplastic composite sandwich structures are being widely investigated due to their
excellent properties such as recycling feasibility and high damage tolerance to meet the …

Failure modes and critical loads for adhesively bonded steel corrugated sandwich structure
under three-point bending in both longitudinal and transverse direction are investigated. An …

Fibre reinforced polymeric composites bonded with epoxy adhesives often fail ungraciously,
manifesting fibre-tear failure due to the edge peel stresses. This research work proposes …

Different types of crash components are extensively used by the automotive industry to
absorb energy during car accidents. Such components typically consist of sandwich …

For sandwich beams with second-order hierarchical corrugated truss core under three-point
bending, a correction factor of shear deflection was firstly proposed to improve the prediction …
