Hello, I was curious if you airplane guru's had some design resources you could point me towards to help me out in regards to foam sandwich construction. I'm interested in building a truck camper utilizing 2lb polystyrene foam and then wrapping in fiberglass (and/or carbon/kevlar as required). I'm working my way through some various books on fiberglass work right now but none of them really address design of the layup to get required strengths. Any good resources you folks can point me towards?

I'm a mechanical engineer in background but its been a while since I've dove into this type of work so I'll be needing to refresh myself there as well. :p
