This book treats the mechanical behavior of one-dimensional sandwich structures, a typicaloncept in the context of lightweight design. Such structures are compo

The main advantages of sandwiches as structural components are now well known and well-established. Due to the progress in polymer science and engineering and a

"Structural and Failure Mechanics of Sandwich Composites" by Leif A. Carlsson and George A. Kardomateas focuses on some important deformation and failure modes

Sandwich structures represent a special form of a laminated composite material or structural elements, where a relatively thick, lightweight and compliant core
