Truss-like core sandwich panels made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite are extensively exploited in numerous industrial and nonindustrial applications. Most of the time, these structures are exposed to extreme and heavy loads and damaged. Therefore, the mechanical properties of composite sandwich structures are important issue that should be addressed by engineers. For this purpose, the mechanical properties of a GFRP composite sandwich structures with polyurethane foam-filled M-shaped core are numerically and experimentally determined in this research. The sandwich panels manufactured for this study are composed of GFRP as fibers and resin epoxy as matrix material. In order to determine the bending and compressive
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
