.... A series of researches have been conducted on the impact resistance of corrugated sandwich structure. Rubio et al. (2008) conducted an experimental study on the dynamic response of corrugated sandwich beams under the impact of metal foam. The results showed that the corrugated sandwich panels had better...

... improving stability and seakeeping characteristics. Sides, deck, bulkheads and superstructures are realized with sandwich panels with carbon fibers skins and PVC core with different densities, according to the relative loading condition. The scantling of all structures has been performed by using...

... it is necessary to improve the ship crashworthiness by improving the energy absorption capacity of the side structure, such as filling sandwiches (honeycomb sandwich plate, tube-style sandwich panels, folding sandwich plate etc.) in single-hull ships. The aim of this present study is to investigate...

... Abstract In this paper, energy-absorbing characteristics of the metallic corrugated core sandwich panels subjected to air blast loading are discussed. The dynamic responses investigated using a fully coupled simulation approach reveal that the face sheets undergo large stretching and bending...

... ABSTRACT: The use of I-Core sandwich panel has increased in cruise ship deck structure since it can provide similar bending strength with conventional stiffened plate while keeping lighter weight and lower web height. It also has other merits of high insulation and good crashworthiness...

..., a technology demonstration superstructure was fabricated at lngalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, MS, USA. The superstructure was two stories high with a 20 ft by 30 ft footprint, and was fabricated from fiat fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sandwich panels, FRP angles, FRP bonding plates, and FRP frames. A new...

... ABSTRACT The flexural behavior of a three-dimensional truss-core sandwich panel may be represented by an equivalent two-dimensional homogeneous but orthotropic thick plate. For the transformation, seven equivalent elastic constants have been derived and these are provided in the paper...

... ABSTRACT A sandwich unit in which the two facing plates are separated but rigidly connected by two inclined trusses (truss-core panel unit) is investigated. A number of these units can be welded along the facing plates to form a truss-core sandwich panel. The sandwich panel is transformed...
