Failure Prediction of Honeycomb Panel Joints using Finite Element Analysis
Spacecraft structures rely on honeycomb panels to provide a light weight means to support the vehicle. Honeycomb panels can carry significant load but are most vulnerable to structural failure at their joints where panels connect. This research shows that predicting sandwich panel joint capability …

Identification and Quantification of Nonlinear Behavior in a Disbonded Aluminum Honeycomb Panel using Single Degree-of-Freedom Models
… on a damaged specimen are conducted. An aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel is damaged by applying a heat source to the top face sheet. The expansion of the heated area on the face sheet creates a disbond of the face sheet and the honeycomb core. This damaged panel is tested by exciting the damaged …

Lateral load distribution for steel beams supporting an FRP panel.
… the desired structural shape. Recently, FRP deck panels have been viewed as an attractive alternative to concrete decks when replacing deteriorated bridges. The main advantages of an FRP deck are its weight (roughly 75% lighter than concrete), its high strength-to-weight ratio, and its resistance …
