An efficient method for the plane vibration analysis of composite sandwich beam with an orthotropic core

Abstract

The free vibration characteristics of composite sandwich beam is examined using an efficient numerical solution scheme. The simply supported beam is assumed to be composed of two isotropic face sheets and an orthotropic core. The plane elasticity formulations are used to derive the equations of motion and the reduced governing differential equation is solved by Complementary Functions Method. The dimensionless analysis of natural frequencies is done to acquire the high precision along with few divisions. The influences of material and geometric parameters on the natural frequency are also illustrated. The solutions are validated with the results obtained from finite element software and it is shown that presented method is an efficient solution technique for the vibration problems of composite beams with a core.
