샌드위치 복합재는 단일 부재의 금속재나 복합재에 비해 높은 비강성과 비강도를 얻을 수 있을 뿐 아니라 면재와 코아를 적절하게 조합하면 우수한 피로특성, 단열성, 흡음성 등을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 항공기, 철도차량, 선박, 냉동컨테이너, 건축재 등에 널리 활용되고 있다. 대부분의 샌드위치 복합재는 면재와 코아를 일차 또는 이차 선착을 통해 제작하기 때문에 운용 중 샌드위치 복합재에 가해질 수 있는 충격하중 등으로 인해 면재와 코아 사이의 층간분리, 면재의 인장파괴, 코아의 압축파괴, 코아의 진단파괴 등과 같은 손상이 생길 우려가 있다. 최근에는 샌드위치 복합재가 갖는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 방편으로 코아의 양면에 부착된 면재들을 코아의 두께방향으로 스티칭함으로써 서로 일체형으로 결합시킨 형태인 스티칭된 샌드위치 복합재의 개발이 시도되고 있다.

본 연구에서 다루는 복합재료는 알루미늄 폼으로써 다공성 구조체로 고체 알루미늄 금속에 비하여 비중이 1/10 정도로 작고, 충격에너지 흡수가 우수하다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 심재를 갖는 복합재료 알루미늄 폼 코어의 충격실험을 실시하여 기계적 특성을 파악하였다. 시험편은 알루미늄 폼 코어를 갖는 복합재료로써 시험편에 50J의 저 충격에너지를 가하도록 하였다. 그 결과, 모든 실험에서 스트라이커가 상부면재 통과 시 최대하중이 나타났고, 이때의 최대하중 값은 약 5.5 KN으로 나타났다. 또한 최대 하중 발생 시간은 50J일 때 약 4.2 ms가 나왔다. 최대 하중이 발생한 후, 즉 상부 면재 통과 후에 실험에서는 약 10 mm정도를 더 뚫으면서 심재에 까지 손상을 주었지만 하부 면재에는 손상을 주지 못하였다. 이로써 스트라이커가 알루미늄 폼 코어 샌드위치 복합재료를 통과 할 때 상부면재 통과 시 최대 하중이 발생하고 심재를 지나며 서서히 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The composite sandwich plate is constructed by combining two laminated facings with high strength and a thick core of light weight material. The governing equations for the analysis of bending of simply supported sandwich plates with laminated facings are derived and analysed using the analytical method including the local shear deformations. The accuracy of the approach is ascertained by comparing solutions from the sandwich plate theory with composite facings to the laminate plate theory. Since the present analysis considers the bending stiffness of the core and also the transverse shear deformations of the laminated facings, it is expected that the analysis is capable to analyze the general anisotropic laminated plates with global shear deformations.

This study presents a governing equations of bending behavior of sandwich plates with thick metal, polymer composite facings. Based on zig-zag models for through thickness deformations, the transverse shear deformation of composite facings is included. All edges of plate are assumed to be simply supported. Results of the bending analysis under lateral loads are presented for the influence of various lay up sequences of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated facings. The accuracy of the approach is ascertained by comparing solutions from the sandwich plates theory with composite facings to the laminated plates theory. Since the present analysis considers the bending stiffness of the core and also the transverse shear deformations of the laminated facings, the proposed method showed higher than that calculated according to the general laminated plates theory. The information presented might be useful to design sandwich plates structure with metal, polymer matrix composite facings.

This study investigated the impact behaviors of the stitched sandwich composites under the low energy impact by the use of drop weight impact tester. These sandwich composites condidted of the glass fabric faces with a urethane foam core. The upper face and the lower face were stitched to combinr through the core thickness direction using the polyester reinforcements. Four types of the stitched sandwich composites, each having a different core thickness, were tested to determine the effects of the core thickness. The impact conditions were changes with the variations of the mass and drop height of the impact tup. The test results showed that the core thickness and the impact condidtions such as the drop height and the mass of the impact tup affected the impact force, the contact time, and the strain behaviors of the stitched sandwich composites. The stitched sandwich composites are able to avert the damage and also maintain the structural integrity even thouth the presence of the damage owing to the through-the-thickness reinforcements. However, it is important to improve the wetting ability of the stitched reinforcements so that the conventional structures are substituted for the stitched sandwich composites effectively.

In this paper, the sandwich panel composites consisting of core material and face sheet were studied to evaluate the mechanical properties, noise level and fire resistance including flammability, smoke, and toxicity. Four types of sandwich panel were prepared using various kinds of panel and honeycomb materials. It was observed that Al honeycomb/Al skin composite materials had the excellent flatwise tensile strength and edgewise compressive strength compared with other types of composites. The flatwise compressive strength and flexural strength of Nomex honeycomb/Al skin composite were higher than those of other composites. PMI form/Al skin composite showed the higher core shear strength and facing bending strength. From the experimental results of flame resistance tests, it can be said that the phenol based skin composite has the excellent flame retardation properties, which are similar to those of the commercial skin composites.

In this study, mechanical property on the composite material of aluminum foam core is investigated by simulation analysis. Impact energies such as 50J, 70J, and 100J are applied to the specimen model. The maximum load occurs at 3.4ms for 50J, 3.2ms for 70J, and 3.2ms for 100J respectively. The striker penetrates the upper face sheet, causing the core to be damaged at 50J test but the lower face sheet remains intact with no damage. It results in occurring with the energy of 52 J. At 70J test, it penetrates the upper face sheet and penetrated the core. And the striker causes the lower face sheet with damage. And it results in occurring with the energy of 65 J. Finally at 100J test, the striker penetrated both the upper face sheet and core and even the lower face sheet. The load becomes maximum at the time when striker penetrates through the upper plate and it rapidly reduced. And then the load increases rapidly when reaching the lower face sheet. And it decreases again. It results in occurring with the energy of 95 J.

In this study, structural analyses were carried out on the composite sandwich panel which was tested under compression loading. In the structural analyses, three types of finite element modelling were considered and linear buckling analysis and nonlinear analysis were performed for each FE-model. Through the analyses, it was found that shell elements for face parts and solid elements for core part were appropriate for the better prediction of the buckling load of the panel. If the material failure of the face is critical than overall buckling of the sandwich panel, the use of one shell element through the thickness direction was suitable in the FE-model for the better predictions of failure location and failure load.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest the effective equivalent finite element model for the impact limiter of a nuclear spent fuel shipping cask made of sandwich composite panels. The sandwich composite panels were composed of a metallic facesheet and a core material made of urethane foam, balsa wood and red wood, respectively. The effective equivalent finite element model for the impact limiter was proposed by comparing the results of low-velocity impact test of sandwich panels. An explicit finite element analysis based on LS-DYNA 3D was done in this study. The results showed that the solid elements were recommended to model the facesheet and core of sandwich panels for impact limiter compared to combination modeling method, in which the layered shell element for facesheet and solid element for core material are used. In particular, the solid element for balsa and red wood core materials should be modeled by the element elimination approach.
