The current paper is intended to provide an overview on the current state of the art for
sandwich structures marine applications to support their wider application and identify the …

Materials with a cellular structure are widespread; they include natural materials such as
wood and cork as well as man-made honeycombs and foams. Their cellular structure gives …

The current study introduces a novel class of bio-inspired and 3D-printed metastructures
called functionally graded lattice metamaterial beams (FGLBs). These lightweight lattice …

We combine 3D printing technique, numerical analysis, and experiments to design a new
class of sandwich composites that exhibit various bending behaviors. These programmed …

This study aimed to investigate low-velocity impact responses and crashworthiness of
different aluminum foam-core sandwich structures. Several drop-weight dynamic impact …

Sandwich structures have been extensively employed as lightweight composite components
in aerospace and shipbuilding engineering for their high capacity of stiffness, strength and …

Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) based cellular structures have drawn increasingly
attention due to their mathematically controlled topologies and promising mechanical …

" Structural and Failure Mechanics of Sandwich Composites" by Leif A. Carlsson and
George A. Kardomateas focuses on some important deformation and failure modes of …

Failure modes for sandwich beams of GFRP laminate skins and Nomex honeycomb core
are investigated. Theoretical models using honeycomb mechanics and classical beam …

Aluminum sandwich panels with honeycomb core have been widely used as energy
absorption structure in lightweight design. This study aimed to characterize the indentation …
