Abstract
This chapter will present classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) analysis of composite face sheets and sandwich plates. It is recognized that the transverse shear deformation is not incorporated in CLPT. Shear deformation of sandwich plates is important and first-order shear deformation analysis will be outlined. Applications of CLPT and first-order shear deformation analysis to sandwich panels will be presented. Two experimental sandwich plate tests, viz. bending under transverse pressure load and twisting, will be described. Experimental data generated from such tests will be compared to predictions from plate theory analysis and finite elements.
