Sandwich composite materials with corrugated cores are mostly used in industries like aircraft, marine construction, automobiles, and construction. Sandwich composite constructions are made for their lightweight, high strength, and high stiffness, and also the sandwich core composite structures are useful for dynamic studies. A novel design inspired by a woodpecker beak microstructure creates fillet edge and champer edge designs. This novel design motivates us to achieve the energy absorbing results starting with free vibration studies followed by rotating environment vibration studies. ASTM E1876 standards, a non-destructive approach, are used to determine the material properties of carbon fiber-polylactic acid (CF-PLA) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP), along with alternative dynamic method (ADM) for core property evaluation. The hand lay-up technique is used for fabrication and evaluated for free vibration testing with appropriate boundary conditions. Internet of Things technology has been used for analyzing vibrations of sandwich structures in rotating environment setup with 250, 500, 750, and 1000 rpm. It was observed that the fillet edge pattern has a more efficient natural frequency than the champer edge pattern. Furthermore, the parametric evaluations were performed in various ply configurations in numerical simulations for free vibration and the rotating Environment. Also, the effective results are seen in fillet core bioinspired sandwich structure that achieves efficient stiffness in both free vibration and rotational environments, despite various boundary conditions and parametric circumstances. Therefore, the fillet edge 3D printed core design with particular GFRP factsheet orientation brings out the novelty of this research.
