Abstract: The present paper describes an investigation that implements and assesses a dynamic continuum constitutive law for all-metallic sandwich panels. It also demonstrates its application to multilayer ...

Abstract: The ability of a ceramic to resist penetration by projectiles depends, in a coupled manner, on its confinement and its mechanical properties. In order to explore the fundamental inter-relationships, ...

Abstract: The paper focuses on optimization of lightweight sandwich panels with prismatic cores subject to bending loads in the two principal in-plane directions. Comparisons are made with optimal designs ...

Abstract: In this study, a new experimental method for measuring the creep of pipeline using moire interferometry was proposed. Curved-surface-deformed grating replicating technique was combined with the ...

Abstract: Metallic sandwich panels with tetrahedral truss cores have been fabricated and their structural performance evaluated. A fabrication technique involving deformation-shaping and brazing has been used. ...
