Abstract
The bending response of sandwich plates with stiff laminated face sheets is studied by a six-noded triangular element having seven degrees of freedom at each node. The element formulation is based on a refined higher-order plate theory having all the features for an accurate modeling of sandwich plates with affordable unknowns. The refined plate theory is quite attractive but suffers from a problem concerned with an interelement continuity requirement when it is used in finite element analysis. The problem has been dealt satisfactorily in this new element, which is applied to the analysis of sandwich plates of different kinds. © ASCE.
