The demand for bigger, faster and lighter moving vehicles, such as ships, trains, and buses has increased the importance of Efficient structural arrangements. In principle two approaches exist to develop efficient structures: either application of new materials or the use of new structural design. A proven and well-established solution is the use of composite materials and sandwich panels. In this way more strength to weight ratio and minimum weight can be obtained. The sandwich structures have potential to offer a many range of attractive design solutions. In addition to the obtained wt. reduction, these solutions can often bring space savings, fire resistance, noise control and improved heating and cooling performance. Laser-welded metallic sandwich panels offer a number of outstanding properties allowing the Designer to develop light and efficient structural configurations for a variety of applications. These panels have been under active Investigations during the last lots of years in the world. Out okumpu has been participating in several collaborative projects in this area. In Finland the research related to all steel sandwich structure was initiated in 1988 in the Ship Laboratory of Helsinki University of Technology.
