Analysis and optimization of corrugated carbon/epoxy sandwich panels under compression

This research was carried out with the purpose of analyzing and optimizing a corrugated carbon/epoxy sandwich panel subjected to compressive loads, since traditional optimization techniques for composite structures are not applicable or are very limited. A practical and simple calculation methodology was used to determine the optimum behavior and configuration of the panel by means of an analytical optimization model. The results were then validated through a finite element model (FEM), where differences of 4% were found between the two models with symmetrical laminates and 25% with asymmetrical laminates, so that the methodology developed is only useful for designs with symmetrical laminates, which suggests that a theory that allows considering the asymmetry of the laminates should be included. The methodology used could serve as a basis for the collection of new results and possible comparisons.
