Load‑bearing behaviors of sandwich plates with non‑uniformly distributed grid cores : Static compression and bending by Hao, Ning, Wang, Youlong, Song, Yiheng, Ruan, Sihan, Quanjin, Ma, Wang, Ziying

“…Under bending loading, most NUGPs experience local failure at the loading head, while the specific category surpassing GPs undergoes shear buckling in longer grid walls. (3) Deformation modes of the core layer, mechanical analysis, thin plate buckling theory, and equivalent bending stiffness calculations elucidate the load-bearing mechanisms of NUGPs. These findings enhance topology optimization research for sandwich plates, provide guidance for grid wall arrangements under different loading conditions, and offer insights for designing lightweight sandwich structures.…”
