T-joints in laser-welded web-core sandwich panels connect face-plates with web-plates.
Rotational stiffness of the T-joints affects transverse shear stiffness of the panels. In this …

The LS-DYNA software was employed to investigate the dynamic response of I-core
sandwich panels under combined blast and fragment loading. The combined blast loading …

Steel stiffened panels are widely used in engineering design and construction. However,
numerical modeling and analysis effort for a three-dimensional (3D) stiffened panel may be …

Abstract Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) approach is extended to model ultimate strength of
stiffened panels under a combination of in-plane compression and shear. Ultimate strength …

A homogenization method for geometric nonlinear analysis of structural core sandwich
panels is proposed. The method provides high computational performance based on an …

In the field of lightweight structures, foldcore sandwich structure is regarded as a promising
replacement for conventional honeycomb sandwich structure. In this study, a new M-type …

To further improve the buckling load, a novel type of butterfly-shaped auxetic core sandwich
plate (butterfly CSP) was proposed based on the re-entrant honeycomb. Based on the …

A web–core steel sandwich panel is a lightweight structure where thin plates are welded
together by laser-welding technique. The plates form a T-joint which has in the center a weld …

This paper numerically investigates the ultimate strength behavior of the laser-welded web-
core sandwich plates under in-plane compression. Both geometric nonlinearity and material …

Modeling a periodic structure as a homogeneous continuum allows for an effective structural
analysis. This approach represents a sandwich panel as a two-dimensional plate of …
