      Hello,

      The out-of-plane shear stiffnesses G31 and G23 are involved via shear correction factors:

       

      [46] P. Isaksson, A. Krusper, and P.A. Gradin. Shear Correction Factors for Corrugated Core Structures. Composite Structures. Vol. 80. pp. 123-130. 2007.

       

      The above is taken from the Ansys documentation:
