I found information from the Engineered Wood Association on design and fabrication of plywood sandwich panels. It gives stress analyisis formulas for plywood faced, foam/balsa/honeycomb core panels. Could these formulas be applied to stainless steel faced, plywood core panels, or are they...
I'm trying to figure out the yield stress of a plywood core (0.72", 7 ply douglas fir), SST faced (0.015"), plymetal panel subject to bending. I am assuming that the stress strain relation is nonlinear elastic, theoretically placing the yield stress at a strain of 0.005. However, upon...
