The sandwich structures are built from thin walled metal sheets. These structures as a part of the airframe outer cover provide thermal protection to the interior parts mounted inside the vehicle. The temperature protection materials used for sandwich structures should have high strength even at the elevated temperatures. It is easier to simulate the 1500 C temperature on the Aluminum sandwich structures and find the temperature gradient across the sandwich depth. Though the experiment was done on hexagonal cells honeycomb, the ANSYS analyses have been done for both square cell sandwich panel and hexagonal honeycomb panel for comparison. Experiments are done on using Al alloy honeycomb sandwich panels and the validations of experimental work using ANSYS analysis have been performed. ANSYS modeling analysis have been done for both, the square and hexagonal honeycomb sandwich pan...

A sandwich construction, which consists of two thin facing layers separated by a thick core, offers various advantages for design of weight critical structure. Depending on the specific mission requirements of the structures, aluminum alloys, high tensile steels, titanium or composites are used as the material of facings skins. Several core shapes and material may be utilized in the construction of sandwich among them, it has been known that the aluminum honeycomb core has excellent properties with regard to weight savings and fabrication costs.This paper is theoretically calculate

Sandwich pan el is supported at its four edges with spar-like sub-structures that acted as h eat sinks, which are generally not considered in th e classical analysis. One side of the panel is subjected to a heat flux on the surfac e. Two types of surface heating were considered: (1 ) hexagonal honeycomb sandwich panels, and (2) square honeycomb sandwich panel, wh ich approximates the actual surface temperature dis tribution associated with the existence of edge heat sinks. The finite-elemen t thod is used to find the thermal stress distrib u ions in the face sheets and core of the sandwich panel. The detailed thermal stress dis tributions in the sandwich panel are presented. Thi s technical report presents comprehensive, 3D graphical displays of thermal str ess distributions in every part of a Inconel 617 ho neycomb-core sandwich panel and also shows the comparison of effective heat tra nsfer r...
