Abstract

The static deflection, frequency and transient responses of the layered sandwich shell (flat/curved) structure computed under the different types of mechanical loading. The higher order polynomial kinematic type of mid-plane kinematics is derived for the mathematical modeling and subsequent numerical analysis. A suitable home-made code is prepared in MATLAB for the computation of deflection (static and dynamic) parameter using the proposed mathematical model. Furthermore, the numerical solution accuracy has been verified by comparing the numerical output with those available published data including the convergence test as a priori. In addition, the influences of the variable design parameters (span-to-thickness ratios, curvature ratios, aspect ratios, core-to-face thickness ratios, lamination configurations, shell configurations, and support conditions) on the deflection, frequency, and the transient values are computed extensively and the inferences provided in details.
