Optimal Design of Corrugated Ribbon Sandwich Structure Subjected to Biaxial Shear Loads

Abstract:

In this paper, in order to enhance the equivalent shear strength of the corrugated ribbon sandwich structures, one new optimal design concept is brought forward to design the corrugated ribbon sandwich structures subjected to biaxial shear loads. Based on the performance harmony concept, the equivalent shear properties have been investigated and given. Analytical results show that the equivalent shear properties of the corrugated ribbon sandwich structure depend on not only the lattice truss cores, but also the facesheets, the interface and the shear loads imposed on the facesheets.
