TL;DR: In this article, the free vibration analysis of three-layered symmetric sandwich beams is carried out using the dynamic stiffness method, and the Wittrick-Williams algorithm is used as a solution technique to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of an example sandwich beam.

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element code is developed for structural response analysis of the free and forced vibration of a sandwich beam with composite faces and viscoelastic core, where independent transverse displacements on two faces and linear variations through the depth of the beam core are considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, an asymptotic numerical method for forced harmonic vibration analysis of viscoelastic structures is presented, based on power series expansions and Pade approximants of the displacement and frequency.

Abstract: Gives a bibliographical review of the finite element analyses of sandwich structures from the theoretical as well as practical points of view. Both isotropic and composite materials are considered. Topics include: material and mechanical properties of sandwich structures; vibration, dynamic response and impact problems; heat transfer and thermomechanical responses; contact problems; fracture mechanics, fatigue and damage; stability problems; special finite elements developed for the analysis of sandwich structures; analysis of sandwich beams, plates, panels and shells; specific applications in various fields of engineering; other topics. The analysis of cellular solids is also included. The bibliography at the end of this paper contains 655 references to papers, conference proceedings and theses/dissertations dealing with presented subjects that were published between 1980 and 2001.
