Abstract: | The present study provides an investigation of the effect of the transverse core compressibility on the dynamic buckling response of sandwich structures. The study utilizes a previous v. Kármán type higher-order model for shallow sandwich shells. An analytical solution is obtained by means of an extended Galerkin procedure in conjunction with an explicit fourth order Runge-Kutta algorithm to solve the transient problem. In an example analysis, it is observed that the transverse core compressibility can have strong effects even on the global response of sandwich structures. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
