Sandwich Panel Design

Sandwich Panel Design

Sandwich Panel Design

(OP)
Does anyone know of a good design reference for sandwich panel design?  This is common in aerospace (not my field) where a thin skin of strong is placed on each side of a low strength core such as foam or celular nomex.  Main areas of interest are face skin buckling and delamination.

RE: Sandwich Panel Design

Sandwich Panel design that I have done the past, academically only, was with Whitney's "Structural Analysis of Laminated Anisotropic Plates".  I thought that this was a good reference and have for years kept it as a reference for generalized plate analysis.

I have several composite reference handbooks and have listed them here.  They all have some good design information on sandwich construction.

Fiber Reinforced Composites - Materials, Manufacturing, & Design; by P.K. Mallick

Principles of Composite Material Mechanics; by Ronald F. Gibson

Design and Manufacture of Composite Structures; by Geoff Eckold

Fundamentals of Composite Manufacturing:  Materials, Methods, and Applications; by A. Brent Strong

Composite Materials Handbook; by Mel Schwartz

I found the best information on sandwich construction/design to be in the books by Mallick and Eckold

RE: Sandwich Panel Design

A company called MetalSpan makes refrigeration panels which are what you describe...a thin layer of metal on each face with a rigid foam interior.  Someone there may be able to point you in the right direction:
