Finite element analysis and design of sandwich panels subject to local buckling effects

Past research into the local buckling behaviour of fully profiled sandwich panels has been based on polyurethane foams and thicker lower grade steels. The Australian sandwich panels use polystyrene foam and thinner and high strength steels, which are bonded together using separate adhesives. Therefore a research project on Australian sandwich panels was undertaken using experimental and finite element analyses. The experimental study on 50 foam-supported steel plate elements and associated finite element analyses produced a large database for sandwich panels subject to local buckling effects, but revealed the inadequacy of conventional effective width formulae for panels with slender plates. It confirmed that these design rules could not be extended to slender plates in their present form. In this research, experimental and numerical results were used to improve the design rules. This paper presents the details of experimental and finite element analyses, their results and the improved design rules.     

The strength characteristics of aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels

Aluminum sandwich construction has been recognized as a promising concept for structural design of lightweight transportation systems such as aircraft, high-speed trains and fast ships. The aim of the present study is to investigate the strength characteristics of aluminum sandwich panels with aluminum honeycomb core theoretically and experimentally. A series of strength tests are carried out on aluminum honeycomb-cored sandwich panel specimen in three point bending, axial compression and lateral crushing loads. Simplified theories are applied to analyze bending deformation, buckling/ultimate strength and crushing strength of honeycomb sandwich panels subject to the corresponding load component. The structural failure characteristics of aluminum sandwich panels are discussed. The test data developed are documented.     

Shear buckling in foam-filled web core sandwich panels using a Pasternak foundation model

Web core panels, foam-filled sandwich panels with interior webs, are a structurally efficient option for transverse load bearing applications. In web core panels, the interaction between the webs and core material can have a substantial impact on web shear buckling strength and is a key element of lightweight structural design. The present work is an investigation of web buckling behavior in web core panels under a distributed load. To solve this problem, web shear buckling was analyzed for the case of pure shear loading with foam support, and this analytic model was extended to the case of panels with a transverse distributed load. The webs are modeled as simply supported plates resting on a Pasternak elastic foundation. To that end, a buckling model for plates on a Pasternak foundation is presented, along with closed-form approximations of the solution for square and infinitely long plates. An accurate model for the foundation constants is developed using energy methods. Applicability of the plate buckling model to web core panels with transverse loads is presented via a finite element study. In panels, the slenderness and spacing of the webs have a slight effect on the boundary conditions between the webs and face sheets. The effect is relatively small, however, and the model presented in this work underpredicts buckling strength by less than 25%. The model in this work is thus a reasonable approach to the practical design of web core panels.

An investigation of lightly profiled sandwich panels subject to local buckling and flexural wrinkling effects

Sandwich panels exhibit various types of failure modes depending on the steel face used. For the flat and lightly profiled sandwich panels, flexural wrinkling is an extremely important design criterion as the behaviour of these panels is governed mainly by flexural wrinkling. However, in the lightly profiled panels, when the depth or spacing of the ribs increases, flat plate buckling between the ribs occurs leading to the failure of the entire panel due to the interaction between local buckling and flexural wrinkling modes. Current design formulae for sandwich panels do not consider such interactive buckling effects. To obtain a safe design solution, this interactive buckling behaviour should be taken into account in the design of lightly profiled sandwich panels. Therefore a research project was undertaken to investigate the interactive buckling behaviour of lightly profiled panels with varying depths and spacings of the ribs using a series of experiments and finite element analyses. A new improved design formula was developed for the safe and economical design of lightly profiled panels that takes into account the interaction between local buckling and flexural wrinkling. This paper presents the details of this investigation, the results and the new design formula.     

Untersuchungen zur Drehbettung von biegedrillknickgefährdeten Trägern durch Sandwichelemente

Investigation of the torsional restraint of sandwich panels against lateral torsional buckling of beams. Experimental investigations and parametric FE‐analyses show that the torsional restraint of sandwich panels against lateral torsional buckling of beams can be expressed by a tri‐linear moment‐rotation‐relationship. Formulae are given for different profile types combined with sandwich panels for roof and wall for calculation of the parameters of this relationship. From this moment‐rotation‐relationship, which depends on the lateral load of the beam, the rotational stiffness c_{ϑ A} of the connection is obtained as secant stiffness. The rotational stiffness c_ϑ required for the design against lateral torsional buckling according to DIN 18800 part 2 is governed by c_{ϑ A}. The rotational stiffness values c_{ϑ A} of the connection, which so far were only known for two types of elements, can be calculated with this method for all common types of sandwich panels and different types of constructions.

In this paper, the finite strip method is applied to study the behavior of cold-formed steel beams including webs with longitudinal stiffeners. Comparisons are made with AISI specifications and published data. The finite layer method is used to investigate the buckling behavior of sandwich panels with thin facings and rigid foam cores. Effects of variable core stiffnesses (due to uneven curing, etc.) on the buckling strength are quantified and presented.

Evaluation of the compression strength of profiled metal sheet faces of sandwich panels

An important design criterion of metal sheet faced lightweight sandwich panels is the compression strength of the face layer. Failure mode of a thin profiled face is characterized by local buckling of the flanges and the web of the profile, by column-type buckling of the entire profile and by yielding of the most stressed flange. Calculation models based on analytical studies have been developed to determine the critical buckling stresses. The evaluation of the compressive resistance at the ultimate limit state is a more difficult task. The paper studies the applicability of the design expressions given in Eurocode 3 to the evaluation of compressive resistance of face profiles.     

Probabilistic Buckling Analysis of Plates and Shells

For many years, a significant amount of research has been directed towards experimental modelling of thin-walled plates and shells, as well as towards the development of analytical and numerical methods to improve their design against buckling. This paper presents methodologies for probabilistic buckling analysis and reliability assessment of such structural components and examines the link between probabilistic and deterministic studies. In particular, the effect of manufacturing variabilities, such as initial geometric imperfections and residual stresses, on elastoplastic buckling response is investigated through parametric reliability studies of plate panels and cylinders under axial compression.

Design for distortional buckling of flexural members

For thin-walled flexural members composed of high-strength steel and/or slender elements in the section, a mode of buckling at half-wavelengths intermediate between local buckling and flexural—torsional or flexural buckling can occur. The mode is most common for edge-stiffened sections such as C- and Z-purlins, and involves rotation of the flange and lip about the flange—web junction. The mode is commonly called distortional buckling. This paper presents a design method for distortional buckling of flexural members recently drafted for use in the Australian/New Zealand Standard for Cold formed Steel Structures. Methods for computing the elastic buckling stress, and design curves for determining the distortional buckling strength are presented. Comparisons of different methods for computing the elastic distortional buckling stress are made with accurate solutions based on the finite strip method of structural analysis.     

Steel-concrete-steel sandwich composite structures subjected to extreme loads

This paper summarizes the latest research and development work on steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich composite structures for the use as Arctic offshore platform, and to resist impact and blast loads. Current development of ultra-lightweight cement composite (ULCC) and a floatable structural cement composite (FSCC) to be used as infilled materials for SCS sandwich structure are presented. This paper aims to advance the application of SCS sandwich composite with the use of steel plate and lightweight concrete materials. A series of tests on lightweight SCS sandwich panels with shear connectors has been carried out. The superior performance of SCS sandwich panel is demonstrated. The results show that SCS sandwich with novel J-hook connectors is effective in preventing plate separation from concrete core, maintaining the structural integrity.     

A unified formulation for the biaxial local and global buckling analysis of sandwich panels

Sandwich structures are increasingly employed in many practical applications thanks to their interesting compromise between lightweight and high mechanical properties. However, due to some specific geometric and material features, such structures are subject to global as well as local buckling phenomena, which lead to collapse in most cases. The buckling analysis of sandwich panels is therefore an important issue for their mechanical design. In this respect, this paper is devoted to the theoretical study of the elastic local/global buckling of rectangular sandwich plates under uniaxial or biaxial compression(-tension). Only classical sandwich materials are considered with homogeneous and isotropic core/skin layers. In the present formulation, a Love–Kirchhoff plate model is used to represent the thin skins, whereas the relatively thick core is modeled as a 3D continuous solid. Furthermore, the proposed approach is based on the elastic bifurcation theory in a general 3D framework, and leads to closed-form analytical expressions of the critical loadings and the corresponding bifurcation modes. The accuracy of the derived formulae is checked for both local and global modes by comparison with the results of finite element computations. Parametric analyses are finally performed, investigating primarily the influence of the aspect ratio of the plate and the ratio of the compressive (or tensile) loadings between both directions on the first buckling mode type and the associated minimum critical value.     

Analysis and design of steel-concrete composite sandwich systems subjected to extreme loads

This paper presents the design guide based on analytical, numerical and experimental investigation of Steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich structural members comprising a lightweight concrete core with density ranged from 1300 to 1445 kg/m³ subjected to static, impact and blast loads. The performance of lightweight sandwich members is also compared with similar members with normal weight concrete core and ultra high strength concrete core (f _c = 180 MPa). Novel J-hook shear connectors were invented to prevent the separation of face plates from the concrete core under extreme loads and their uses are not restricted by the concrete core thickness. Flexural and punching are the primary modes of failure under static point load. Impact test results show that the SCS sandwich panels with the J-hook connectors are capable of resisting impact load with less damage in comparison than equivalent stiffened steel plate panels. Blast tests with 100 kg TNT were performed on SCS sandwich specimens to investigate the key parameters that affect the blast resistance of SCS sandwich structure. Plastic yield line method is proposed to predict the plastic capacity and post peak large deflection of the sandwich plates. Finally, an energy balanced model is developed to analyze the global behavior of SCS sandwich panels subjected to dynamic load.     

Elastic shear buckling characteristics of LiteSteel beams

LiteSteel beam (LSB) is a new cold-formed steel hollow flange channel beam. The unique LSB section is produced by a patented manufacturing process involving simultaneous cold-forming and dual electric resistance welding. To date, limited research has been undertaken on the shear buckling behaviour of LSBs with torsionally rigid, rectangular hollow flanges. For the shear design of LSB web panels, their elastic shear buckling strength must be determined accurately including the potential post-buckling strength. Currently the elastic shear buckling coefficients of web panels are determined by assuming conservatively that the web panels are simply supported at the junction between the flange and web elements. Therefore finite element analyses were carried out to investigate the elastic shear buckling behaviour of LSB sections including the effect of true support conditions at the junction between their flange and web elements. An improved equation for the higher elastic shear buckling coefficient of LSBs was developed and included in the shear capacity equations of Australian cold-formed steel codes. Predicted ultimate shear capacity results were compared with available experimental results, both of which showed considerable improvement to the shear capacities of LSBs. A study on the shear flow distribution of LSBs was also undertaken prior to the elastic buckling analysis study. This paper presents the details of this investigation and the results including the shear flow distribution of LSBs.     

Laterally supported sandwich panels subjected to large deflections—Part 1: Test apparatus design and experimental results

This paper deals with the experimental characterization of the structural behavior of sandwich panels under distributed transverse loadings. A configuration typically used in aircraft interior applications is considered: a simply supported rectangular plate fixed by bolts on the two longitudinal edges or on all four edges. The panel and joint stiffness are experimentally evaluated and a test apparatus is designed and instrumented to measure the reaction shear loads at the panel attachment bolts and the transverse deflection of the plate. The results demonstrate the importance of a nonlinear analysis for the design of this type of structure. A companion paper, describes the FE analysis procedure utilized to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the tested panels. The numerical results are validated against the experimental results.
