Abstract

The solution of sandwich plate problems by the framework method is proposed and the basic elements of the method used are reviewed. The technique is demonstrated by application to a simple framework analog for rectangular sandwich panels with very thin faces and an antiplane core. A number of illustrative examples involving small and large deflections are solved.
