In this paper, free and forced vibrations, and also resonance and pulse phenomena in sandwich plates with an isotropic core and composite reinforced by wavy carbon nanotube (CNT) face sheets are studied based on a mesh-free method and first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The sandwich plates are resting on Pasternak elastic foundation and subjected to periodic loads. In the mesh-free analysis, moving least squares (MLS) shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of motion equation and the transformation method is used for imposition of essential boundary conditions. The distributions of CNTs are considered functionally graded (FG) or uniform along the thickness and their mechanical properties are estimated by an extended rule of mixture. Effects of CNT distribution, volume fraction, aspect ratio and waviness, and also effects of Pasternak’s elastic foundation coefficients, sandwich plate thickness, face sheets thickness, plate aspect ratio and time depended force are investigated on the free and forced vibrations, and resonance behavior of the sandwich plates with wavy CNT-reinforced face sheets.

In this paper, free and forced vibrations of symmetric laminated composite plates are studied analytically by using a perturbation method where the analytical results for transverse displacement are compared with the numerical results. The external force is taken to be harmonic in time and having uniform amplitude.
