Abstract
Sandwich structure is a lightweight structure with high specific strength and specific stiffness, as well as excellent energy absorption and load-carrying capacity. Sandwich structures are widely used in aerospace, high-speed rail and marine applications. Low-velocity impact of a sandwich beam with foam-filled sinusoidal corrugated core is investigated by means of theoretical derivations and numerical calculations. A yield criterion is used to obtain an analytical solution of the dynamic behavior of champed sandwich beams with foam-filled sinusoidal corrugated cores under low-velocity impact. Numerical calculations are performed. The analytical results are in excellent accordance with the finite element results. Influences of the amplitude, half-wavelength and thickness of the sinusoidal corrugated plate, foam strength, metal-sheet strength, and the impact location on the dynamic behavior of the sandwich beams with foam-filled sinusoidal corrugated cores under low-velocity impact are discussed. The present analytical model can predict reasonably well the dynamic behavior of foam-filled sinusoidal corrugated core sandwich beams under low-velocity impact.
