    This document discusses sandwich constructions, which consist of two thin, strong facings bonded to a thick, lightweight core. The core carries loads while the facings provide stiffness and protect the core. Sandwich constructions are stronger and lighter than solid materials. The strength of a sandwich depends on factors like the core material, cell shape and size, facing materials, and adhesive used. Common core materials include aluminum and aramid, while facing materials include fiberglass and carbon fiber.
