Abstract

The subject of the paper are two thin-walled trapezoidal corrugated cores of seven-layer sandwich plates. Transverse shear modules of these cores are analytically determined and numerically - FEM studied. Results of both methods are compared for an example plate.

Keywords:

sandwich plates, corrugated cores, elastic shear modulus
