STRUCTURAL OPTIMIZATION OF CORRUGATED CORE AND WEB CORE SANDWICH PANELS SUBJECTED TO UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION
Abstract
Rational methods are developed of structural optimization for flat, corrugated core and web core sandwich panels subjected to uniaxial compressive loads. These methods provide a means by which such panels can be designed with minimum weight for a given load index, panel width, panel length, and face and core materials. Methods presented permit a rational material selection by comparing the weights of the optimum construction for several material systems as a function of load index. The methods account for both isotropic or orthotropic face and core materials and various boundary conditions.
