This paper studies the plastic forming of sandwich panels and proposes a universal elastoplastic equivalent method suitable for sandwich panels. To verify the generality of the equivalent method, according to the different core structures, the cores of bi-directional trapezoidal sandwich (BTS) panels and aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) panels are equated to orthotropic and isotropic (special orthotropic) single-layer panels respectively. Through the finite element (FE) numerical simulation of the mesoscopic model of the sandwich panel, the elastoplastic constitutive relationship of the equivalent core model is established, and then the macroscopic equivalent model of the sandwich panel is established. The FE numerical simulation of plastic forming was carried out for the mesoscopic model and equivalent model of BTS panel and AFS panel, and plastic forming experiments were conducted for the sandwich panel through a multi-point forming (MPF) test machine. The results show that the relative errors of the section average stress at the same position of the equivalent model and the mesoscopic model of sandwich panels are all within 4%; compared with the experimental results, the equivalent model of the sandwich panel has high forming accuracy and small shape error, which verifies the high accuracy and generality of the equivalent method. Moreover, using the sandwich panel equivalent model effectively reduces the calculation time of the numerical simulation.
