Abstract

The paper considers wrinkling of orthotropic faces of a shallow sandwich shell with an isotropic core for a general case of in-plane multi-axial loading. The principal axes of loading do not necessarily coincide with the principal axes of orthotropy and curvature. The technique of the obtained closed-form solutions are based on minimization of critical forces with respect to wavelengths and angles of wrinkling.
