Abstract:Sandwich structures are widely used, especially in areas where the performance of conventional materials is simply not adequate. Sandwich components achieve the same structural performance as conventional materials with weight savings of up to 75 %. They are basically made from two thin skins (faces) and a lightweight thicker core. Their structural, physical, and mechanical characteristics can be tailored based on service requirements by selection of different materials and manufacturing processes. In this stu… Show more
