Dynamic Buckling/Implosion of Pristine and Damaged Sandwich Structures
Abstract
Sandwich composite structures exhibit high divergence in both material properties and geometry between faces and core, sandwich structures have a complex response, which makes it to be a challenge to model and predict their behavior. To address these issues, a new high order theory, the Extended High Order Sandwich Panel Theory (EHSAPT) was formulated in our ONR-supported research, which is capable of including the unique features of sandwich construction, i.e. large transverse shear and core compressibility (JAM, 2012; 79:04100). EHSAPT was proven to be very accurate and can be used with any combinations of core and faces (and not only the very soft cores that other theories require).
