The unique optimization potential of sandwich sheets with respect to a defined criterion, e.g. weight reduction, originates from the combination of different materials into one sheet. Due to this material combination, the sheet behaves differently from conventional sheet materials during forming and in addition unique failure modes like delamination might occur. Within the framework of two, separate research projects these unique features of sandwich sheets were analyzed through practical experiments and FEM-analyses.
