Experiment and Finite Element Study on the Structural Behavior of Steel Sandwich Panels

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work try to deal with the analysis of a class of sandwich panels widely employed in engineering constructions. In order to study its structure behavior, a systematic experimental study on both roof and wall sandwich panels filled with Polyurethane foam (PU) under uniformly distributed load is conducted. Informed by the tests, appropriate finite element models are developed to model the tests.
