This paper summarizes a number of presumably new concepts within the general area of sandwich structures. The concepts have been analyzed numerically and/or analytically, manufactured, and tested. The concepts include strip or grid skin sandwich for light weight structures; graded or laminated sandwich cores; “artificial” balsa cores with higher strength and stiffness than conventional end grain balsa; and steel truss / sandwich skin hybrid ship hulls.
