Material selection in sandwich beam construction

A systematic procedure is presented for comparing the relative performance of sandwich beams with various combinations of materials in three-point bending. Operative failure mechanisms are identified and failure maps are constructed. The geometry of sandwich beams is optimised to minimise the mass f...

Zusammenfassung:A systematic procedure is presented for comparing the relative performance of sandwich beams with various combinations of materials in three-point bending. Operative failure mechanisms are identified and failure maps are constructed. The geometry of sandwich beams is optimised to minimise the mass for a required load bearing capacity in three-point bending.
