In general, sandwich panels offer a number of advantages for transport systems, such as being lightweight (increased payload), having a reduced space consumption, structural safety and reduced assembly cost.
Various R&D projects aiming to develop sandwich structures have been carried out in several sectors at European, national and company levels. These projects have produced results, but they are difficult for industrial users to access and compare.
The Sand.core project aims to collect and compare available solutions, benchmark possible sandwich solutions for concrete application cases in the rail and maritime fields, and produce a best practice guideline for potential end users. Along with a number of public workshops, this will improve the application of results from previous projects
The main result of the project is the Best Practice Guide (BPG) on sandwich structures, which allows potential users to optimise their risk and avoid duplication of work.
The BPG gives a comprehensive overview on current best practices (focused on the maritime field) on general types of sandwich structures as well as on aspects and techniques concerning their design, manufacturing, joining, assembly and outfitting, inspection and repair, legislation and approval. It also provides application case studies.
It is structured into three sandwich types, which are the most commonly used in the maritime and rail sectors: all-metal, hybrid-metal (a combination of metallic and non-metallic materials) and composites.
Other results include:
- harmonised knowledge and information on sandwich panels has been collected through an analysis of the state of the art;
- benchmark studies have been carried out which led, also through the promotion of intensified practical application of sandwich structure, to new and optimised design solution, evaluating their costs and benefits;
- a User Group with five members to exchange information and views on sandwich structure has been created.%
Through the definition of the future research needs a new European project was created (Delight). This project aims to develop lightweight modules for transport systems featuring efficient production and lifecycle benefits at structural and functional integrity using risk based design. This project is the follow-up of Sand.core and almost all partners of Sand.core are involved in this project.
