Building, naval, and automotive industries have deep interest in eco-friendly, lightweight, stiff and strong materials. In addition, materials with low thermal conductivity are desirable in many applications where energy ...

In the present work, mechanical properties and failure modes of natural and synthetic fiber reinforced composite sandwich panels under three point bending were studied. Analytical models were developed in order to predict ...

Los band gaps corresponden a rangos de frecuencia para los cuales un material celular bloquea la propagación de ondas mecánicas, esta propiedad también puede ser exhibida por paneles tipo sándwich y sus características: ...

To avoid structural failures it is of critical importance to detect, locate and quantify impact damage as soon as it occurs. This can be achieved by impact identification methodologies, which continuously monitor the ...

The purpose of this research is to generate sandwich panels in order to be competitive with the different sandwich panel´s marketed in Ecuador. The sandwich panel is made of rise husk as an insulator which is consider an ...

The present the titling work aimed to study the effect of the presence of rubber microparticles in a polyurethane foam core for a sandwich panel with fiberglass sheets (GFRP) through both physical and mechanical tests. The ...

The development of custom cellular materials has been driven by recent advances in additive manufacturing and structural topological optimization. These contemporary materials with complex topologies have better structural ...
