Effect of transverse core compressibility on dynamic buckling of sandwich structures
Abstract
The present study is concerned with the analysis of the transient response of softcore sandwich structures in the postbuckling range using a higher-order geometrically nonlinear shell model including the transverse core compressibility. The transverse compressibility results in the development of a chaotic vibration with unpredictable wrinkling amplitudes and has significant effects on the eigenfrequency.
