Abstract

This paper presents a model for the stiffness terms of composite sandwich panels with structured cores (referred to as 'z-core' panels). Truss-cores, corrugated-cores and double-corrugated cores containing a polymeric foam were considered. The model was validated, both through finite element simulation and through comparison with the results of experimental three point bend tests on panels. A parametric study was performed to assess the performance of the different reinforced panel configurations. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
