Abstract Over decades, sandwich composite panels (SCPs) have been widely used to fabricate lightweight but strong
structural components. However, composite sandwich structures are susceptible to impact damage, which
may severely reduce the structural stiffness, stability, and load-carrying capacity[1, 2]. In order to enhance
the anti-impact capacity of SCPs, a series of novel core structures[3-5] and filling materials[6-8] have been
proposed and tested. One of them is the shear thickening fluids (STFs), which mechanical behavior changed
from liquid to solid when subjected to high strain rate shear loading[7, 9]. For example, Fu et al.[10] filled
the honeycomb… More >
