Sandwich panels attracted designer's interest due to its light weight, excellent corrosion
characteristics and rapid installation capabilities. Sandwich panels have been implemented
in many industrial application such as aerospace, marine, architectural and transportation
industry. Sandwich panels consist of two face sheets and core. The core is usually made of
material softer than the face sheets. Most of the previous work deals with sandwich panel
in the elastic range. However the current investigation unveils the behavior of sandwich
panel beyond the yield limit of core material. Three main parameters are investigated by
applying invariant search optimization technique. These are the core thickness, the
modulus of elasticity ratio of the core to face ? sheet material, and the area size on which
the load is being applied. The load has been increased in steps in quasi?static manner till
face sheets reach the yield point. The panel modeled using a finite element analysis
package. Simply supported boundary conditions are applied on all sides of the panel. The
model has been validated against numerical and experimental cases that are available in the
literature. In addition, experimental investigation has been carried out to validate the finite
element model (FEM) and to verify some selected cases. The FEM shows very good
agreement with the previous work and the experimental investigation. It is proved in this
study that the load carrying capacity of the panel increases as the core material goes
beyond the yield point. Also, the softer the core material is, more load is carried by face
sheets. The stiffer the core material is, the sandwich panel behavior gets closer to isotopic
plate, i.e., the face sheets are going to yield before the core material. As core thickness
increases the load carrying capacity of the panel increases, i.e., delays the occurrence of
core yielding. As the load-area-size increases, the load carrying capacity of the panel
increases, i.e., the smaller the area on which the load is being applied the closer the
response of the panel to concentrated load response.
