This article presents an approach to facilitate comparison and optimization of sandwich material combinations. Equivalent homogenized sandwich material properties (bending stiffness, density, and cost) are presented graphically in material selection charts to enable an efficient performance per cost evaluation. The effects of core shear deformations and panel production costs can be included in those sandwich material selection charts.
