Abstract
Nonlinear flexural vibration of a symmetric rectangular honeycomb sandwich thin panel with simply supported along all four edges is studied in this paper. The nonlinear governing equations of the symmetric rectangular honeycomb sandwich panel subjected to transverse excitations are simplified to a set of two ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin method. Based on the homotopy analysis method, the average equations of the primary resonance and harmonic resonance are obtained. The influence of structural parameters, the transverse exciting force amplitude, and transverse damping to the symmetric rectangular honeycomb sandwich panel are discussed by using the analytic approximation method. Compared with the results obtained by single‐mode modeling technique, the results obtained by double‐mode modeling technique change the softening and hardening nonlinear characteristics when Ω ≈ ω1, ω1/3, and ω2/3.
