In this paper a discussion about the determination of the stress state corresponding to the application of four-points bending load on a sandwich panel having a core made of closed cell aluminium foam is reported. An analytical model based on laminated plate classical theory is compared to a more complex FEM model, considering the effect of geometric parameters of panels, like core and plate thickness, and of loading mode, like span length. The results show the difficulties to define a reliable model to calculate stress state in this kind of composite material.

Abstract

In this paper a discussion about the determination of the stress state corresponding to the application of four-points bending load on a sandwich panel having a core made of closed cell aluminium foam is reported. An analytical model based on laminated plate classical theory is compared to a more complex FEM model, considering the effect of geometric parameters of panels, like core and plate thickness, and of loading mode, like span length. The results show the difficulties to define a reliable model to calculate stress state in this kind of composite material.
