Wave propagation and vibration analysis of sandwich structure with a bio-based flexible core and composite face sheets subjected to visco-Pasternak foundation and magnetic field

In this study, the wave propagation and vibration analysis of sandwich structure with a bio-based flexible core and composite face sheets subjected to magnetic field are studied. In the present analysis, the material properties of composite face sheets are assumed viscoelastic based on Kelvin -Voigt model, and high-order sandwich panels theory is used for core modeling. The analysis of wave propagation and vibration of the sandwich structure is performed assuming complete adhesion between core and face sheets, and the governing equations of motion are derived by Hamilton's principle . Finally, the semi-analytical solution is applied to obtain the effects of the structural and foundation damping coefficients , different angles of the layers, the ratio of width to thickness, the ratio of the thickness of the core to the procedures, temperature variations, wave number, aspect ratios, elastic properties and number of layers on the wave propagation behavior of the sandwich plate for complete adhesion between layers. The results show that by increasing the ratio of the thickness of the core to the layers, the velocity of the wave propagation initially increases, and then decreases. Also, the application of the magnetic field has an increasing effect on the sandwich plate frequency. Finally, with the increase in the number of layers and the number of waves, the phase velocity increases, while the hardness of the system decreases when the temperature and damping coefficient rises.
