Sandwich composite structures are widely used in various industries namely, aerospace, automotive, packaging, biomedical, civil and electronics due to their high specific strength and energy absorption capabilities. Mechanical properties of sandwich structure depend on material properties of face sheet and core, and strength of face sheet-core interface. Most commonly used composite materials are carbon fiber reinforced plastics, glass fiber reinforced plastics, ceramic matrix composites, and metal matrix composites. Several researchers have used nano-fillers namely, nano-clay, carbon nanotube, and nano-silica for improvement of mechanical properties of composite structures.In this paper, an extensive literature review has been discussed regarding influence of various material and geometrical parameters on mechanical properties of sandwich composite structure. Initially, influence of various fiber reinforcement and nano-fillers on mechanical properties are discussed. Then, deformation behavior and mechanical properties of honeycomb core is elaborated.Further, influence of temperature variation on composite structure is discussed. Moreover, crucial insights on reviewed literature are presented and future advancements in the field of sandwich composite structure are discussed.

“…For example, two layers of fabric coated by potassium chloride displayed 23% improvement in energy absorption, due to friction enhancement, with 5% of weight increase. LaBarre et al 15 studied the ballistic performance of carbon nanotube (CNT)-augmented Kevlar fabric. The authors concluded that the ballistic resistance was doubled due to fabric augmentation.…”

This study reports experimental and numerical behaviors of both dry and silicon-coated twill-weave Kevlar fabrics under low-velocity impact. Initially, the fabrics are augmented in silicon aqueous suspension with various particle concentrations, and then, increase in the weight and friction coefficient are studied. The low-velocity impact test results show that the best particle concentration to meet the mentioned requirements is about 10 wt%. The experiments indicate high-impact resistance of the target by increase in the number of fabric plies. It is found that silicon-coated fabrics under drop-weight test show more time duration of impact and better performance than dry fabrics. Furthermore, the tests show that in the dry fabrics, broader region stretches due to impact, while in silicon-coated fabrics, the damage is limited to the impact point. The numerical simulation is performed for the coated fabric, and the effect of fabric augmentation with silicon is introduced as yarn friction. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

“…The results obtained indicated that at a fixed thickness of the armor, both the position and the thickness of the CNT reinforced composite mats affect the ballistic performance of the armor. 13,16 Labarre et al 26 in their study improved the ballistic performance of Kevlar by augmentation with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). Kostopoulos et al 27 presented that in terms of the CFRP impact performance, enhanced performance for the 0.5 wt% CNT doped specimens was observed for higher energy levels.…”

Experimental studies are presented on the high velocity impact behavior of nanomaterial dispersed resin viz laminates made using E-glass fabric with epoxy resin. The nanomaterials used are silica nanoparticles and carboxyl functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (COOH-MWCNT) for polymer matrix composites. The composites' ballistic limit (V bl ) and impact energy absorbed (E ab ) were determined by subjecting the material to impact loading of 85, 100, and 112 m/s by conical nose projectile. It was found that the high velocity impact response of epoxy composites improved when a nanomaterial was used as reinforcement. COOH-MWCNTs reinforced composites exhibited better energy absorption than silica nanoparticles composites. Moreover, the damage pattern for different types of materials studied is presented. It is observed that the damage size on the target around the point of impact decreases on addition of nanoparticles especially COOH-MWCNTs. Quantitative data are presented for high velocity impact behavior of the seven types of specimens studied.
