Abstract
One of the most recent definitions for a sandwich panel is the one used in the European product standard EN 14509. This product standard defines a sandwich panel as a building product consisting of two metal faces positioned on either side of a core that is a rigid thermally insulating material, which is firmly bonded to both faces so that the three components act compositely when under load. In many cases sandwich panels can be self-supporting which means that the panels are capable of supporting, by virtue of their materials and shape, their own load and in the case of panels fixed to spaced structural supports all applied loadings (e.g. snow, wind, internal air pressure), and transmitting these loadings to the supports.
