Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic compressive response of metal sinusoidal corrugated core sandwich plates is investigated. The analytical model for the reaction forces of top and bottom face sheets subjected to constant velocity are developed. Finite element (FE) method is carried out to predict the dynamic collapse of metal sinusoidal corrugated cores. Several collapse modes of cores are found in terms of different impact velocity and relative core density. The analytical predications are compared with numerical results, and the analytical model captures numerical results for reaction forces reasonably. The collapse mechanism maps are constructed for sinusoidal corrugated cores with elastic-perfectly plastic material and strain hardening plastic material. The effect of strain rate sensitive on the collapse response is discussed. It is demonstrated that the strain hardening of the metal material increases the dominant deformation mode of the collapse mechanism maps.
