• A Sandwich structured composite is a special class of composite materials that is fabricated by attaching two thin but
  stiff skins to a lightweight but thick core.
• The common composite sandwich structure is made up of two major elements, the skin and the core. Sandwich panel skins are the outer layers and are constructed out of a variety of materials. Wood, aluminum, and plastics are commonly used. More recently though, advanced composite fibers and resins are being used to create skin material.

• The principle of sandwich construction is that bending loads are carried by the skins, while the core transmits shear load. They enable large gains in structural efficiency, since the thickness (and hence flexural rigidity) of panels can be increased without significant weight penalty.

• While the design of sandwich panels for stiffness is relatively straightforward, design for strength is more complex. This is because sandwich structures exhibit a range of failure modes, depending on materials, geometry and loading. The most problematic are usually debonding of the skins and core shear failure.

• An Institute of Structural Mechanics is investigating new manufacturing concepts using optimised fibre products in combination with LRI technologies. Within these activities a number of demonstrator components have been manufactured using a variety of different densities of ROHACELL PMI foam cores. The primary goal of increasing the performance of foam core components was improving shear strength and increasing the quality of the core-skin interface.

• The manufacturing process of Aluminium sandwich panel includes autoclave process and mechanical finishing process.

• Based on the manufacture of the fuselage sandwich panels, it was possible to show that the Single Line Injection (SLI) production method is an excellent and safe method for economical production of complex components at the highest quality. Single Line Injection Technology met all design requirements at the very first trial is a good indication for the reliability of the process.

• Sandwich materials generally exhibits the properties such as High load bearing capacity at low weight, Surface finished faceplates provide good resistance against aggressive environments, Excellent thermal insulation, Long life at low maintenance cost, Good water and vapor barrier, Excellent acoustic damping properties.

• Sandwich construction is commonly used in structures where strength, stiffness, and weight efficiency are required. Most commonly, Sandwich Panels are used in Aircraft, Space craft, Satellites, Automobiles, Trains, Trucks, Boats etc.

• Proposals for the construction of sandwich-like components were made in different industrial branches, the application of laser welding started to be increasingly discussed only after the high power laser sources became available on the market at more affordable prices. Due to its high energy intensity resulting in a low heat input and a deep penetration effect, laser welding offers a number of benefits for the production of all-metal and hybrid-metal sandwich panels.

• Preliminary tests were completed on sandwich panels for one University. These tests were conducted to determine appropriate specimen geometries and fixture requirements for future potential user proposals.
  A report presents the results of tests conducted to determine the stresses induced in the core and facings of a flat sandwich panel by a concentrated load applied at an insert.
