Summary A displacement-based versatile and effective finite element analysis of sandwich panels is presented. The analysis is applicable to both small and large deflections. Allowance for the local bending stiffness of the faces is made. The procedure described is readily adapted to arbitrary laminated beams and plates. Selected example problems are given to illustrate the applicability of the formulation.
