The skin wrinkling phenomenon was investigated in case of ultralight sandwich structures with honeycomb core manufactured by one shot vacuum bag processing. A relation between process pressure and compressive strength of the skin was established. ...
This work evaluated the possibility of using silicon solar cells as load-carrying elements in composite sandwich structures. Such an ultra-light multifunctional structure is a new concept enabling weight, and thus energy, to be saved in high-tech applicati ...
The formation of resin fillet between honeycomb core cell walls and skin in light sandwich structures was studied to gain a better understanding of the bonding process. A method was developed for tailoring the amount of adhesive between 8 and 80 g/m2. The ...
