Numerical and Experimental Approach for Identifying Elastic Parameters in Sandwich Plates

This article deals with the identification of elastic parameters (engineering constants) in sandwich honeycomb orthotropic rectangular plates. A non-destructive method is introduced to identify the elastic parameters through the experimental measurements of natural frequencies of a plate undergoing...
