Abstract
In this study, the solution of the free vibration problem of sandwich plates consisting of heterogeneous orthotropic layers is presented. First, the Kirchhoff-Love theory (KLT) for homogeneous plates is extended to sandwich plates composed of heterogeneous orthotropic layers. Within the framework of Donnell theory, after establishing the basic relations of multilayer plates, governing equations are derived based on Airy stress and deflection functions. The solution of the governing equations is carried out by the Galerkin method and the analytical expression is found for the linear frequency of sandwich plates consisting of heterogeneous orthotropic layers. Finally, the effects of various factors such as heterogeneity, number of layers and their arrangement on the free vibration frequency of sandwich plates are examined.
