This paper presents the studies carried out on bending and free vibration behavior of truss core sandwich panel filled with foam typically used in aerospace applications. Equivalent stiffness properties for foam-filled truss core sandwich panel are derived by idealizing 3D foam-filled sandwich panel to an equivalent 2D orthotropic thick plate continuum. The accuracy of the derived elastic property is ensured by the numerical comparison of free vibration response of 3D and its equivalent 2D finite element model. The derived stiffness constants were used in closed form solution to evaluate the maximum deflection of the continuum. The results show that the free vibration and static behavior of the sandwich panel can be enhanced in due consideration to the space constraint by filling foam in the empty space of core. The results also reveal that triangular core foam-filled sandwich panel deflects less compared to other cores. From the free vibration analysis, effect of filling foam is effective in cellular and trapezoidal core.

The longitudinal deformation has been ignored by most previous study on vibroacoustic behaviours of truss core sandwich panels. This paper investigates its effect by developing two theoretical models. One, named as full model, considers both flexural and longitudinal deformation of face sheets while the other, named as flexural model, incorporates only flexural deformation. By comparing free characteristic waves obtained from two models, one find that flexural model ignore two waves, that is, a compressive wave and a global flexural one. The ignored waves cause vibration in transverse direction even at high frequencies, and thus result in vibration peaks under forced vibration. Therefore the flexural model would underestimate the vibration response, and the longitudinal deformation of face sheets cannot be ignored during dynamic analysis of the sandwich panels.
