Abstract
In order to construct a plate theory for a thick transversely compressible sandwich plate with composite laminated face sheets, the author makes simplifying assumptions regarding distribution of transverse strain components in the thickness direction. It is assumed that the transverse strains, i.e., exz, eyz, and ezzdo not vary in the thickness direction within the face sheets and the core, but can be different functions of the in-plane coordinates in different sublaminates (the face sheets and the core). An algorithm, which takes account of damage progression in dynamic problems, is incorporated into the computational scheme based on the geometrically nonlinear formulation, and is applied to failure analysis of a sandwich plate under ground impact.
