Central Deflection example of Quasi-Isotropic and Bi-Directional skinned sandwich panels compared to 1 inch thick Aluminum and Steel Plates
-Composite Panels deflection from The Handbook of Sandwich Construction -Aluminum and Steel Plate deflection from Roark’s Formulas for Stress and Strain -Plate loaded by a Uniform distributed load, simply supported along edge. Deflection estimated at the panel/plate center. |
