Popis: Design formulas for the flexural characteristics of sandwich panels under three-point loading by point forces, taking into account local effects, have been derived. Transverse deformation of the normal in the modified model is deduced in terms of the difference between deflections of face layers. It is considered that the rotation of the normal depends also on shear of the filler. The deflections, local curvatures, and bending stresses, dependent on the face-layer thicknesses and transverse characteristics of the filler, are studied. The danger of initial failure caused by the local moment stresses at the central panel section is shown. Comparative estimates refining the conventional designs are established.
