Three-point bending of sandwich beams with aluminum foam-filled corrugated cores

Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites: A Review on Potential for Corrugated Core of Sandwich Structures

“…Zhang et al [6,10,14] and Lim et al [13] used stainless steel sheet to study the dynamic and buckling response of trapezoidal corrugated core sandwich structure panels. As compared to Yan et al [12], the authors discussed more on bending points of sandwich beams using aluminum foam-filled and found out that foam insertions altered not only the failure mode of the corrugated sandwich but also increased dramatically its bending resistance. At this point, researchers tend to use metal in terms of sheets or foams and disregard the potential of natural fiber reinforced composite to replace the material use in experimental work even though that Wei et al [11] was possible using Zr02 ceramic in studying of mechanical properties of corrugated core sandwich panel.…”

“…A lot of theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies have been conducted to find its failure mode, properties of the design and the behavioral of corrugated core sandwich structure [6,[9][10][11][12][13][14][34][35][36][37]. In Figure 2, Buannic et al [35] reported that corrugated core sandwich structure can be categorized into four different conventional geometries; straight, hat-type, triangular and curvilinear.…”

“…The characteristic of corrugated core is providing good structural performance with very restricted thickness in total and small thickness compared to overall measurement which affect negatively of their modeling [9]. Most researchers were using metallic cores, stochastic foams, honeycombs, lightweight ceramic and polymeric foams to study the characteristic and the effect of sandwich panel with corrugated cores [10][11][12][13][14]. …”

A novel strengthening method for carbon fiber composite lattice truss structures

“…The related mechanical property tests consist of the compression [11], [13], [17], [18], shear [19]- [23], bending [24]- [26], impact resistance [27]- [31] and vibration [32], [33]. However, interfacial debonding between the core and face-sheets under shear loads remains an unresolved problem.…”

Stiffness and strength of oil palm wood core sandwich panel under center point bending

“…In practice, the optimum face and core thickness are therefore needed to achieve the required stiffness and strength. Linear elastic beam theory has been employed to predict stiffness and strength of the sandwich beam [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In addition, a failure mode map of sandwich beams consisting of various faces and core materials have also been developed [10,18,19].…”
