Cover Story: The sandwich structure is engineered with continuous layers surrounding the inner lattices, combining the advantages of high strength from the continuous layer and light weight from the lattice layer. It finds wide application in weight-critical energy-absorbing engineering fields. In this paper, the basic mechanical properties of the sandwich structures, including bi-directional tension/compression compound performance and failure modes, are systematically analyzed. Moreover, the effects of geometric features on the bending properties are investigated and compared with pure SCF/N structures. These studies provide fundamental research references for the application of sandwich structures prepared by fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites. View this paper
