Abstract

The use of sandwich structures is increasing rapidly. This paper is aimed on mechanical properties of sandwich structured composites and their usage in technical practice. The main contribution in paper is realized static analysis of simple sandwiches composed from various materials of core and face sheets. Final results of analysis were fields of data about maximum stresses, displacement fields of structural points of sandwich composite.

Keywords:
