The First Order Shear Deformation Theory for Sandwich Plates

Radu Chiriac, Mihai Vrabie

Abstract


This paper presents the specifics of applying the First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) for determining the bending response parameters of sandwich plates. The classical lamination theory (CLT) is used to establish the stiffness matrices of the element, the significance and importance of the shear correction factor, and finally, different methods (analytical and numerical) for implementing the theory are presented.
