Abstract:This paper summarizes basic research (i.e., testing and analysis)
conducted to examine the deformation behavior of flat-welded
steel sandwich panels under two types of quasi-static loading:
(1) uniaxial compression; and (2) bending through an indenter.
The objectives of these tests were to: (1) confirm the analytical
and computational (i.e., finite element) modeling of sandwich
structures, (2) examine the fabrication issues associated with
such structures (e.g., material selection and welding processes),
and (3) observe the deformation behavior and local collapse
mechanisms under the two different types of loading. In
addition, the uniaxial compression tests were performed to rank
or screen different core geometries. Five core geometries were
examined in the compression tests: pipe or tubular cores with
outer diameters equal to 2, 3, and 5 inches; a 2-inch square
diamond core; and a double-corrugated core called an X-core
with a 5-inch core height.
