“…Further, this consideration provide a number of attractive features such as material saving, weight reduction, stiffness enhancing, high strength and also meet the desirability of economy. Numerous studies dealing with vibration characteristics of sandwich plates are available in the literature and reported in Mirza and Singh (1974), Sherif (1992), Zhou and Li (1996), Yu and Huang (2001), Yuan and Dawe (2002), Wang and Chen (2003), Chen and Chen (2004) and Chang et al (2006) to mention a few. Mirza and Singh (1974) also investigated axisymmetric vibrations of three layered circular plates by taking bending stresses in the facings, but no stress parallel to the faces in the core and to be incompressible in the transverse direction using Bessel functions.…”
