Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The lightweight and high-strength sandwich panel has the advantages of high specific strength and specific stiffness properties, so it has good application prospects in the aerospace, shipbuilding, and construction industries. With the development of sandwich structure design and optimization, different core shapes appear and are applied in various engineering fields, such as honeycomb sandwich panels, lattice sandwich panels, foam sandwich panels, and so on. At the same time, the development of industry also requires the development of sandwich panel materials and processes, such as the emergence and production of fiber sandwich panels. This Special Issue is dedicated to the mechanical performances of lightweight sandwich panels. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): experiments of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels; mechanical analysis of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels; numerical simulations of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels; damage and failure of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels; design and application of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels; multiscale modeling of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels; optimization of lightweight and high-strength sandwich panels.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
