IMPROVED BUTT JOINT CONNECTIONS FOR CORE MATERIALS

摘要

The invention is based on the object of improving the mechanical properties of butt joints in sandwich structures via introduction of reinforcement elements in the direction of thickness of the sandwich structure (z direction). The invention can be used for the production of sandwich elements for applications in aerospace, and also in shipbuilding, construction of motor vehicles and of rail vehicles, construction of power-generation systems, and construction of sports equipment.
