Abstract

In this work, based on the First Order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT), an attempt is made to explore the applicability and accuracy of the Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) for bending analysis of composite sandwich plates under static loading. Comparative studies of the bending behavior of composite sandwich plates are made between two types of boundary conditions for different cases. The effects of fiber orientation, ratio of thickness to length of the plate, the ratio of thickness of core to thickness of the face sheet are studied on the transverse displacement and moment resultants. As shown in this study, the role of the core thickness in deformation of these plates can be reversed by the stiffness of the core in comparison with sheets. The obtained graphs give very good results due to optimum design of sandwich plates. In Comparison with existing solutions, fast convergent rates and high accuracy results can be achieved by the GDQ method.
