Abstract
A consistent set of equations is given for honeycomb sandwich shells, wherein each layer of the sandwich is treated separately. The theory allows for the effects of thick cores, non-constant core thickness and arbitrary anisotropic faces. Analytical solutions are obtained for constant thickness and tapered beams, a flat plate, and a circular cylinder subjected to simple loading conditions. The principal use of such solutions is in the testing of finite elements which are intended to model honeycomb sandwich construction.Keywords
