Popis: This paper treats the instability of rectangular sandwich panels with nonisotropic cores and faces of different materials or thicknesses. The simply supported panel is loaded with a uniform edge compression. The solution is expressed in terms of a major buckling coefficient, given as the ratio of the critical lateral buckling load to the critical cylindrical buckling load, which is a function of several nondimensional parameters. A single family of curves shows the buckling behavior for all parameters. The effect of a moderate temperature differential between the two faces can be approximately considered by modifying their moduli of elasticity in accordance with their temperature levels. Besides the regular panel instability, a zone of core shear instability is determined and discussed in detail. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the application of the analysis.
