A dynamic structural panel (10) having one or more compliant dimple layers (1) connected together by one or more reinforcing layers (7) engaging ends of the dimples (3) on the dimple layer (1) to create a cavity between the layers. The connection of the dimple layer (1) and reinforcing layers (7) creates an integral structural panel (10) that can be planar by having identical heights of the dimples (3) on the dimple layer (1) to create a planar panel or nonplanar panel by varying the heights of the dimples (3) on the dimple layer (1) or through planar spacing adjustments. The panel (10) can be modified in various ways such as by choice of materials and/or geometries of the various layers and/or incorporation of additional structural features.
