Mechanics of Composite Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The main stages of development of the stability theory of sandwich structural elements are considered. The mechanism of their stability loss is revealed using the experimental data and theoretical solutions obtained on the basis of refined statements of problems. A classification of all possible forms of stability loss is given within the limits of continuum representation of load-bearing layers and the core of these structures.
