Finite Element Analysis of Bend Test of Sandwich Structures Using Strain Energy Based Homogenization Method

The purpose of this article is to present a simplified methodology for analysis of sandwich structures using the homogenization method. This methodology is based upon the strain energy criterion. Normally, sandwich structures are composed of hexagonal core and face sheets and a complete and complex...
