Determination of Dimple Core Design Configurations for Sandwich Panel Enhancement Using Fuzzy-Hybrid Decision Making Analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the best dimple core design for metal sandwich panels by investigating the various critical criteria and core design parameters using the fuzzy-hybrid multi-criteria decision-making tool. The structural integrity of a sandwich panel depends on the core design and significantly affects the bonding strength. The continuous design and testing of a sandwich panel is a very lengthy process that increases the design time.
