Bending Analysis of Sandwich Beams According to Refined Trigonometric Beam Theory
Abstract: An equivalent single layer trigonometric shear deformation theory is presented for flexure of sandwich beams. The axial displacement field uses trigonometric function in terms of thickness coordinate to include the effect of transverse shear deformation. The transverse displacement is assumed to be a function of longitudinal direction. Normal and shear strains corresponding to assumed displacement field of the present theory are obtained within the framework of linear theory of elasticity. …
