The behavior of sandwich structures of isotropic and composite materials

This title presents the mathematics, descriptions, and analytical techniques in the growing field of sandwich structures.

From a background in sandwich structures to thermoelastic problems of sandwich structures and sandwich shell theory, it provides the knowledge needed to analyse, design, and optimise various sandwich structures.

It discusses special failure modes such as face wrinkling and core shear instability.

Coverage includes not only honeycomb cores, but also foam, web, and truss cores.
