The elastic properties of core affect mechanical properties and deformation behaviours of the lightweight sandwich panel. The objective of the present paper is to estimate experimentally Young's and shear moduli of a core in internally structured boned (ISB) panel with woven metal as inner structures using the deflection theory of sandwich beam considered core stiffness. Three points bending experiments were performed to obtain force-deflection curves of the designed ISB panel in each material direction. The elastic and shear moduli of the core in each material direction were estimated from slopes and intercepts of relationships between compliance per the span length and square of the span length, respectively. The results of the estimation showed that the fabric technology of the woven metal affects the variation of the elastic properties in the core. Through the comparison of shear moduli and force-deflection curves of the proposed method and those without considering the core stiffness, it was shown that the core stiffness should be considered to estimate properly the Young's and shear moduli of ISB panels. Finally, the contribution ratio of bending and shear deflections of ISB panels to the total deflection was quantitatively examined.

The objective of this research works is to investigate into characteristics of bending stiffness and failure for the ISB ultra-lightweight panel with internally structured material. The expanded metal with a crimped pyramid shape and woven metal are employed as an internally structured material. Through three-points bending test, the force-displacement curve and failure shape are obtained to examine the deformation pattern, characteristic data, such as maximum load, displacement at maximum load, etc, and failure pattern of the ISB panel. In addition, the influence of design parameters fur ISB panel on the specific stiffness, the specific stiffness per unit width, failure mode and failure map has been found. Finally, it has been shown that ISB containing expand metal with the crimped pyramidal shape is prefer to that containing woven metal from the view point of optimal design for ISB panel.
