Article Abstract
This research paper investigates the shear response of pyramidal lattice (PL) sandwich cores, where square-shaped strut cross-sections are geometrically modified into I-beam-like configurations. These PL sandwich cores are 3D printed via Digital Light Processing (DLP), and their shear performance is experimentally and numerically evaluated for various I-beam-like strut cross-sections. The measurements reveal that PL structures with I-beam struts outperform conventional square-beam structures in terms of shear modulus (+ 13%), shear strength (+ 11%) and gravimetric energy (+ 24%). These improvements are attributed to the larger bending stiffness of the I-beam struts, enhancing their capacity to resist shear loads. A numerical parametric study further examines how various architectural parameters of the tailored PL structure affect the shear performance, showing significant enhancements in shear modulus (6-23%), shear strength (3-16%), and gravimetric energy (8-25%) compared to square-strut PL structures of equal weight. Additionally, a simple analytical model is developed to estimate the strength enhancements, demonstrating a reasonable agreement with the numerical predictions and measurements. Notably, a reduction of the internal strut angle to 30° is found to enhance the shear strength of the PL structure in both shearing directions, making this arrangement an excellent choice for sandwich designs where core shear failure is a limiting factor.

The utilization of composite sandwich panels (CSP) with a core composed of wood or natural fibers presents a sustainable option for building insulation to address climate change. This study aims to produce and assess CSP thermoacoustic insulators by examining their physical, mechanical, acoustic, and thermal characteristics. The panels, with thicknesses of 12 and 19 mm, are constructed using cores of balsawood or pineapple leaves () (PALF) variety M2 and melina wood () as veneer.

This study proposes a novel design strategy for thiolate-protected gold nanoclusters (RS-AuNCs) based on the truncated triangular Au unit on the [111] crystal plane. First, sandwich-type primary cores of Au, Au, and Au are constructed on the Au crystal plane, and then triangular Au units are introduced to obtain core structures of Au, Au, and Au, respectively. Finally, based on the Au core, four asymmetric twinned-FCC shell clusters (Au(SR), Au(SR), Au(SR), and Au(SR)) are successfully constructed through differentiated ligand protection modes.

Honeycomb structures are widely constructed as cores in sandwich panels with lightweight characteristics and excellent out-of-plane properties. However, their in-plane performances are significantly inferior. This research proposed a novel isotropy-enhanced honeycomb (IEH) with interleaved layers, which is constructed by offsetting the initial seed distributions across layers and then generating hexagonal cells via Voronoi tessellation.
