Nonlinear, Damped Vibrations of Sandwich Plates With Time-Dependent Temperature
Keyword(s):
Abstract The paper studies the effect of the rapid change of temperature on the vibrations of simply supported sandwich plates. It has been taken into consideration that the properties of the facings and of the core of the sandwich plate materials change with the change of the temperature. The effects of the viscoelastic damping and geometrical nonlinearities on the behaviour of the plate have also been included. It was found that the rapid change of temperature affects the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations.
