Finite deflection of sandwich panels resting on elastic supports

Extract
Due to their high strength to weight ratio, sandwich panels have become increasingly popular in various areas of structural design. This is particularly true with the aerospace industry where high strength low density materials play an important role in the fabrication of major structural components. Along with the continual quest for strong lightweight structures, recent optimisation methods in structural design have led to a re-examination of the validity of the traditional conservative designs based on the usual linear assumptions of structural analysis and tend to adopt more realistic approaches incorporating geometric nonlinearity of the structure by using more exact finite-displacement, strain-displacement equations.
