| Abstract: | This paper presents a procedure to simulate the behaviour of a sandwich composite material. The classical solution to model this kind of structure is the plate theory. Nevertheless, because of the incapacity to take non-linear material behaviour into account, this method cannot be used to model our problem. Indeed, the sandwich structure contains metallic layers, and their behaviour is elasto-plastic. For these reasons, a numerical homogenisation will be presented. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
