An Improved Sandwich Theory for a Better Prediction of the Wrinkling Phenomenon

  • An advanced design of sandwichstructures does not only require the knowledge of the global stress- and deformation behavior, but also the knowledge of the local effects, such as load singularities and the loss of stability caused by the short wave wrinkling of one (bending) or both (pressure) sandwich skins.Based on the nonlinear theory for sandwich shells with seven kinematic degrees of freedom, introduced from Kühhorn and Schoop an improved theory for plane sandwich shells with eight degrees of freedom will be presented, enabling a much better representation of the sandwich core behavior.Due to consideration of quadratic core thickness and linear core shear strain as well as longitudinal core deformation an improved prediction of the wrinkling behavior is succeeded even for thick cores and thin skins.The kinematic quantities as well as the nonlinear-differential equations and the simplified equations of first order theory resulting from them are given.Finally applying the well known classical problems of stability loaded by pressureAn advanced design of sandwichstructures does not only require the knowledge of the global stress- and deformation behavior, but also the knowledge of the local effects, such as load singularities and the loss of stability caused by the short wave wrinkling of one (bending) or both (pressure) sandwich skins.Based on the nonlinear theory for sandwich shells with seven kinematic degrees of freedom, introduced from Kühhorn and Schoop an improved theory for plane sandwich shells with eight degrees of freedom will be presented, enabling a much better representation of the sandwich core behavior.Due to consideration of quadratic core thickness and linear core shear strain as well as longitudinal core deformation an improved prediction of the wrinkling behavior is succeeded even for thick cores and thin skins.The kinematic quantities as well as the nonlinear-differential equations and the simplified equations of first order theory resulting from them are given.Finally applying the well known classical problems of stability loaded by pressure and bending, the efficiency of this 8 DOF-theory ist demonstrated. A comparison with a detailed finite element (plain strain) calculation shows the high quality of these results.The presented sandwich theory characterized by eight degrees of freedom enables the calculation of nearly all essential sandwich phenomena even for thick cores.show moreshow less
