Abstract

In this chapter the design aspects of sandwich structural elements, optimal design, stresses, failure modes, buckling of skins, columns, cylinders and inserts are discussed. In general used Al-alloy honeycomb core mechanical properties are summarized. The connection of sandwich structural elements is illustrated
