Abstract The composite sandwich plate is one of the most common composite structures. Local stress concentrations can be caused by localized bending effects where a load is introduced. Although a sandwich structure with an insert is one of the classical load bearing structures, little work has been conducted on the adhesive layers or inserts. This study involves a linear elasticity analysis of five-layer sandwich plates with ``through-the-thickness'' inserts, using sandwich plate theory to analyze deformation behavior. Governing equations are formulated as partial differential equations, which are solved numerically using the multi-segment integration method. Sandwich plates with ``through-the-thickness'' inserts subjected to axisymmetric… More >
