Abstract
This chapter presents the theory of elasticity solutions for sandwich plates or shells. Elasticity solutions are significant because they provide a benchmark for assessing the performance of the various plate or shell theories or various numerical methods such as the finite element method.Most of these solutions are an extension of the corresponding solutions for monolithic anisotropic bodies which have been developed primarily by Lekhnitskii (1963). This chapter does not cover all problems of the theory of elasticity for sandwich bodies, but presents only some of the most studied ones in an attempt to collect the accumulated recent progress in this field. Section 5.1 on sandwich rectangular plates is adapted from Pagano (1970a), which was extended to the case of positive discriminant materials by Kardomateas (2008a) and Section 5.2 on sandwich shells from Kardomateas (2001).
