Thermal impact on a circular sandwich plate on an elastic foundation

Symmetric transverse vibrations of a circular metal-polymer sandwich plate under a thermal impact are studied. The plate is connected with an inertialess Winkler foundation. The facesheets are assumed to satisfy the Kirchhoff hypothesis and the deformed normal in the low-density core is rectilinear and incompressible across thickness. Analytical solutions are obtained and their numerical analysis is given.
