Abstract:

The equation to calculate transverse displacement in mid span of sandwich beam was derived by revision of Reissner theory and considering indentation deformation of central loading. It was shown that the resistance to the shear force of skin was equivalent to the half thickness of honey-comb core. By comparison with test results, Revised first-order theory(RFOT)had higher accuracy than classical first-order theory(CFOT)in general to calculate the transverse displacement of sandwich beam. Furthermore, the transverse displacement of "∥" direction specimens were bigger than "⊥" direction ones because of shear deformation. It was also indicated the transverse displacement including bending and shear deformation were all decreased gradually with increasing core thickness, but the proportion of shear displacement to the total became larger step by step. In addition, shear displacement and cross-sectional stress calculated by RFOT was less than CFOT, but the two theories tended to be identical with increasing core thickness.
