Investigation on the indentation behavior of sandwich beams using crushable and hyperelastic foam cores

In this work the indentation behaviour of sandwich beams is studied adopting the classical approach representing the core material as a Winkler-type foundation. It is shown how most of the proposed theories can be derived from a general fourth order linear differential equation expressing the equ...
