This paper presents an approach to facilitate comparison and optimization of sandwich material combinations. Equivalent homogenised sandwich material properties (bending stiffness, density and cost) are presented graphically in materials selection charts to enable an efficient performance per cost evaluation. The effects of core shear deformations and panel production costs can be included in those sandwich materials selection charts.
