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.

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

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:
I wouldn't rate these sites as good design references, but I'll mention them just in case they might help a little in addition to your other resources.
butelja: Check this out, too, as a supplemental reference. Modeling Sandwich,
I didn't find MIL-HDBK-23A, Structural Sandwich Composites, circa 1968, on-line yet. It might be many MB, and might not be as good as your text book references, above.
