Abstract

Sandwich structures are commonly based on polymeric foam and honeycomb core material, for use in lightweight applications such as fuselage in aero plane, hull in marine construction and others. A review of sandwich structure based on corrugated-core is proposed and presented in this paper. Firstly, this paper aims to provide a means of comparing available sandwich structure in industries. Secondly, this paper aims to provide sandwich structure with corrugated-core for future research development efforts in field of sandwich construction. This paper starts with introduction of composite material such as sandwich structure, the advantages of sandwich structure was shown. After that these papers provide the structure of sandwich structure which includes the two faces and the cores. Furthermore, sandwich structure with different cores, which is honeycomb, foam core and corrugated core are discussed. At the end, the paper discussed more on corrugated-core for future research development.

Summary

Introduction

Advanced composites materials such as sandwich structure have remained progressively substituting traditional materials such as aluminum and steel in various industries fabricating all from small part to the key structural components of heavyweight vehicle such as airplane and marine ship[1]. The advantages of sandwich structures include great stiffness to weight ratios [2,3,4,5] , improved fatigue life, steadiness under compressive forces, good thermal and acoustic isolation properties. These benefits determine the fact that the use of composites has improved ominously in a wide range of structural applications and first of all in aerospace manufacturing [6,7,8,9]. Moisture retention is one of the problems in aircraft sandwich construction. The suitability of the corrugated-core as replacement core design structures in the sandwich construction will be as well serves the concept of sustainable manufacturing
