Abstract
Sandwich beams and panels with symmetric faces and cores of varying stiffness are investigated. The paper presents a theoretical and experimental study of the local effects that occur in the vicinity of intersections between cores of different stiffness in such sandwich panels. These local effects manifest themselves by a significant rise of the bending stresses in the faces in the vicinity of the core junctions. Closed-form estimates of the stress/strain fields induced by local effects are presented for sandwich beams and panels loaded in cylindrical bending. The accuracy of the derived closed-form estimates is verified experimentally for the case of a sandwich beam in three-point bending.
