sandwich panel design
does anyone know of a good design reference for sandwich panel design?  this is common in aerospace (not my field) where a thin skin of strong is placed on each side of a low strength core such as foam or celular nomex.  main areas of interest are face skin buckling and delamination.

sandwich panel design that i have done the past, academically only, was with whitney's "structural analysis of laminated anisotropic plates".  i thought that this was a good reference and have for years kept it as a reference for generalized plate analysis.
butelja:
i have several composite reference handbooks and have listed them here.  they all have some good design information on sandwich construction.
fiber reinforced composites - materials, manufacturing, & design; by p.k. mallick
principles of composite material mechanics; by ronald f. gibson
design and manufacture of composite structures; by geoff eckold
fundamentals of composite manufacturing:  materials, methods, and applications; by a. brent strong
composite materials handbook; by mel schwartz
i found the best information on sandwich construction/design to be in the books by mallick and eckold

a company called metalspan makes refrigeration panels which are what you describe...a thin layer of metal on each face with a rigid foam interior.  someone there may be able to point you in the right direction:
i wouldn't rate these sites as good design references, but i'll mention them just in case they might help a little in addition to your other resources.
butelja:  check this out, too, as a supplemental reference. modeling sandwich,
hi the book structural steel design chapter 12. ronald press company and chapter 14 of bresler, lin and scalzi design of steel structure could help. luck
