A heat shield called the thermal protection system (TPS) is an important structure in
hypersonic vehicles as it prevents hot air from entering vehicles and potential impacts from …

In sandwich structures, lightweight cellular materials as the core hold the face sheets far
away from the neutral axis to maximize the bending performance of the structure …

The concept of interlocked ortho-grid core was very attractive, due to great mechanical
properties, low cost, and simple processing. However, the rib intersection aroused by this …

A combined theoretical, numerical and experimental investigation of the integrated thermal
protection system based on C/SiC composite corrugated core sandwich plane structure was …

Due to the excellent mechanical and chemical properties at ultra-high temperature, ceramic
matrix composites have been promising candidates for lightweight design of future thermal …

Carbon/carbon–silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) composites have been widely reported in
aerospace and military projects for their mechanical properties and electromagnetic …

The stiffness, failure load and failure mechanism of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP)
composite trapezoidal corrugated sandwich plates (CTCSPs) subjected to four-point …

With cores of the hexagonal honeycomb (HH), staggered corrugated lattice (SCL),
bidirectional corrugated lattice (BCL), reinforced hexagonal honeycomb (RHH), and …

In this framework, we formulate a procedure to reconstruct the structure of general random
3D braid heterogeneous media based on transformation of Gaussian random fields, where …

This paper first reviews the research progress of carbon fiber-reinforced sandwich plates
with grid cores, truss cores, and foam cores, and the results can be summarized in the …
