- This fundamental study extends the extended cohesive damage model developed by this research group to widely used sandwich composite materials. The paper established the correlation between failure loads, geometrical ratios and number of layers in Functionally Graded Sandwiches with Multiple Layered Cores (FGSMLC). It then proposed novel FGSMLC configurations with significantly enhanced loading capacities. This concept has been applied to developing the understanding of the impact resistance of sandwich panels by researchers in Australia (Shobeiri, Engineering Optimization, DoI: 10.1080/0305215X.2020.1818737, 2021).
