Abstract
Thermally induced bending of sandwich panels composed of three symmetrically arranged layers is studied under the consideration of plane strain. Moderately thick elastic layers made of dissimilar transverse isotropic materials are considered. Analyzing two special cases of interlaminar connections, namely, perfect bond and elastic interlayer slip, a complete analogy between the corresponding initial boundary-value problems is derived. Subsequently, the response of the panel with elastic interlayer slip can be determined directly from the solution of the perfectly bonded sandwich panel with moderately thick faces by substituting effective parameters.
