The natural vibration of an elastic sandwich beam on an elastic foundation is studied. Bernoulli's hypotheses are used to describe the kinematics of the face layers. The core layer is assumed to be stiff and compressible. The foundation reaction is described by Winkler's model. The system of equilibrium equations is derived, and its exact solution for displacements is found. Numerical results are presented for a sandwich beam on an elastic foundation of low, medium, or high stiffness
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
