Both structures are composed of the same materials and have the same external dimensions and mass, but their middle layers (cores) are different. The core of the sandwich meta-structure is a new spatial structure itself, consisting of there-layer bars. The core of the classic sandwich structure is a layer of the continuum. To make the comparison more general and convincing, three geometrical parameters, i.e., ratio of interfacial contact (Ric), interlayer bonding factor (Ibf) and coefficient of impact sensitivity (Cis), were introduced and applied. Deflections of the structures, simply supported at the edges and loaded in the mid-span by a static force, have been measured and are presented in the paper. Potential advantages of the new meta-structure are briefly outlined.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Comparative geometrical and experimental study on a new sandwich meta-structure and its classic three-layer counterpart}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/85052/PDF/02_paper.pdf}, doi={10.1515/meceng-2015-0025}, keywords={sandwich meta-structure, classic sandwich strip, ratio of interfacial contact, interlayer bonding factor, coefficient of impact sensitivity, flexural stiffness}, }
