On the Strength of Angle-Patterned Sandwich Cores under Various Loading Conditions

Article Preview

Abstract:

Angled sandwich core made of thin aluminium sheets was analysed numerically to investigate their mechanical performace under various loading conditions. The stress distribution and deformation were compared with conventional hexgonal honeycomb cores of same relative density under various loadings. Possible failure modes are observed. The finding helps to provide a guidance to the design of ligthweight armour against explosive loading.
