The existing representative volume element (RVE) homogenization method, grounded in finite element analysis, assumes a planar configuration for the sections of sandwich panels, implying rigidity. To accommodate non-planar displacements, this study introduces a novel homogenization method reliant on the displacements obtained from four-point bending and four-point torsion. The present method is employed to investigate the mode shapes, natural frequencies, and loss factors of sandwich panels utilizing an equivalent single-layer shell model. Validation of the present method is conducted through the analysis of lattice sandwich panels and corrugated sandwich panels incorporating viscoelastic layers. Comparative analyses encompassing the results of the experiment, the conventional solid model method, the present method, and the conventional plane method are undertaken. The universality of the present method is substantiated. The present method enhances the precision of natural frequency prediction.
