Abstract
Sandwich-structured composites are made of a lightweight core material between two thin composite panels. Variants of the Ori-Miura folding pattern have been investigated and compared to both the traditional Miura folding pattern (Fig. 1) and the more commonly used core design, the honeycomb. While the honeycomb design is favored over the Miura folding pattern and its variants due to its simple shape and better performance in compression, honeycomb cores also present drawbacks that are detrimental to the integrity of the sandwich structure. These drawbacks include, but are not limited to:
- Honeycomb cores consist of closed channels trapping moisture and heat.
- Limitation of alternative materials, restricting the performance of quasi-static and impact damage.
- Strict geometric parameters.
- Lower energy absorption.
