Abstract
Sandwich panels fabricated by attaching facing plates to a folded-plate, directional stiffening core and penetrated by holes present a difficult analytical problem which can be solved by the use of large finite element packages. An approximate analysis is presented which converts the panel into an analogous 2-dimensional grillage of orthogonally orientated beams and can be resolved on a PC. Penetrations are modelled by removing appropriate beams from the grillage.
