Transient Response of Sandwich Plates with Corrugated Core Under Mechanical-Thermal Loads

The nonlinear dynamic responses of the corrugated sandwich plate under mechanical-thermal loads are studied and analyzed. Based on hyperbolic parabola shear deformation plate theory (HPSDT), the partial differential equation of the sandwich plate with the corrugated core is established. Using the Galerkin truncation method, the nonlinear motion equation is derived. By the solution, the response of the corrugation plate with simply supported four edges at different temperatures is obtained and validated. Then the transient responses of the corrugated sandwich plate under different impact loads are analyzed, and the effects of the base materials, the corrugation types and the structural parameters of the corrugated plate on the transient responses are discussed in detail. The research provides a reference for improving the impact resistance of the sandwich plate in practical application.
