Laminate and sandwich structures are typical lightweight elements
with rapidly ex panding application in various industrial fields.
In the past, these structures were used primarily in aircraft and
aerospace industries. Now, they have also found ap plication in
civil and mechanical engineering, in the automotive industry, in
ship building, the sport goods industries, etc. The advantages that
these materials have over traditional materials like metals and
their alloys are the relatively high specific strength properties
(the ratio strength to density, etc). In addition, the laminate and
sandwich structures provide good vibration and noise protection,
thermal insulation, etc. There are also disadvantages - for
example, composite laminates are brittle, and thejoining of such
elements is not as easy as with classical materials. The recycling
of these materials is also problematic, and a viable solution is
yet to be developed. Since the application of laminates and
sandwiches has been used mostly in new technologies, governmental
and independent research organizations, as well as big companies,
have spent a lot of money for research. This includes the
development of new materials by material scientists, new design
concepts by mechanical and civil engineers as well as new testing
procedures and standards. The growing de mands of the industry for
specially educated research and practicing engineers and material
scientists have resulted in changes in curricula of the diploma and
master courses. More and more universities have included special
courses on laminates and sandwiches, and training programs have
been arranged for postgraduate studies."
