Meanings
-
A structure consisting of a core (which can be foam or solid, honeycomb, web, corrugated or truss) sandwiched between two thinner outer layers, often made of metal or composite.
In sandwich shells, because of their initial curvature, bending moments (stress couples) give rise to transverse normal stresses in the core.
