OSTI ID:6240626
Solar collector modules of various types (e.g., line-focusing, heliostats) require stiff, lightweight structural panels to support and protect their reflective surfaces. Symmetric, sandwich type panel construction fulfills these requirements. Analytical methods are utilized in the present work to study the existence, utilization and practicality of a minimum weight, adequately stiff design for sandwich panel construction in the solar collector application.
