Analysis and Design of Structural Sandwich Panels serves as a simple guide to the fundamental aspects of the theory of sandwich construction and to the assumptions on which it is based. This book discusses the real importance of the assumptions made in sandwich theory concerning the relative stiffness and thickness of the faces and the core. Organized into 12 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the relatively simple problems of sandwich beams and struts. This text then discusses the bending of sandwich beams, which grows naturally from the ordinary theory of bending. Other chapters explore the bending and buckling of sandwich panels. This book discusses as well the panel analyses based on the Ritz method and on the derivation of differential equations for a sandwich plate. This book should be of interest not only to aeronautical engineers but also to readers concerned with the design of sandwich panels in the building, plastics, and boat-building industries.
Vibration problems in beams and frames can lead to catastrophic structural collapse. This detailed monograph provides classical beam theory equations, calculation procedures, dynamic analysis of beams and frames, and analytical and numerical results. It covers: classical beam theory equations; dynamical analysis of beams and frames special functions; and, beams with classical and elastic support.
The objective of this study was the development of a procedure for determining the large dynamic response of structural systems consisting of beam and rectangular plate elements. The analysis takes into account both geometrical and material nonlinearities. The general approach to the problem is based on the finite element method and the use of displacement interpolation functions. The strain energy expressions for both the beam and plate elements are obtained and are used to generate the stiffness and mass matrices of the elements. Also, the geometric stiffness matrices are derived which account for the effect of geometric nonlinearities. Plastic deformations are taken into account by means of an incremental theory of plasticity coupled with the concept of initial strain.
"Structural and Failure Mechanics of Sandwich Composites" by Leif A. Carlsson and George A. Kardomateas focuses on some important deformation and failure modes of sandwich panels such as global buckling, wrinkling and local instabilities, and face/core debonding. The book also provides the mechanics background necessary for understanding deformation and failure mechanisms in sandwich panels and the response of sandwich structural parts to a variety of loadings. Specifically, first-order and high-order sandwich panel theories, and three-dimensional elasticity solutions for the structural behavior outlined in some detail. Elasticity analysis can serve as a benchmark for judging the accuracy of simplified sandwich plate, shell and beam theories. Furthermore, the book reviews test methods developed for the characterization of the constituent face and core materials, and sandwich beams and plates. The characterization of face/core debonding is a major topic of this text, and analysis methods based on fracture mechanics are described and applied to several contemporary test specimens. Test methods and results documented in the literature are included and discussed. The book will benefit structural and materials engineers and researchers with the desire to learn more about structural behavior, failure mechanisms, fracture mechanics and damage tolerance of sandwich structures.
