An improved design of interlacing laminate layer is presented to fabricate composite sandwich panel with lattice truss cores (CSPLTCs) with a hot-press molding method. The new laminate form greatly enhances the integrity of the cores, leading to increase in mechanical performance, especially for in-plane shear. However, the delamination of the cross-bars becomes the dominated failure in shear tests. The strengthened cores give full play the potential of cross-bars to postpone the progress of the local failure. Results indicate that the present structure provides more superior comprehensive mechanical properties and better energy absorption capacity.
