Numerical and experimental investigation of hollow sphere structures in sandwich panels / Thomas Fiedler.

This work addresses the performance of novel metallic hollow-sphere structures (MHSS) in sandwich panels. Numerical finite-element analyses and experimental tests are described. The first part of the book focuses on the various types of metallic hollow-sphere structure. The influence of morphology,...
