Summary

The governing elasticity equations for sandwich shells of double curvature are discussed. No restriction is placed on the thickness of the honeycomb core, and the faces are taken to be made up from fibre reinforced plastic laminations. Some numerical results are given for a circular cylinder subjected to uniform internal radial loading. The results show the importance of treating the core as a thick shell, and of including the bending effects and coupling terms in the laminated faces.
