A new finite element (FE) model has been developed based on higher order zigzag theory (HOZT) for the static analysis of laminated sandwich beam with soft core. In this theory, the in-plane displacement variation is considered to be cubic for both the face sheets and the core. The transverse displac

✦ Synopsis
The paper is concerned with a family of refined models of elastic sandwich plates with soft core. Construction of this family is based upon the kinematic assumptions of Dundrovfi, Kovafik and Slapfik [4]. The model energy-consistent with this hypothesis turns out to be nonelliptic. However, this model makes it possible to find a generalization of Hoff's [7] model in which transverse normal deformations of the core are partly considered. A proof is given that both this and Hoff's model is correctly stated irrespective of the choice of fields that describe the angles of rotation of the plate cross-sections. On the other hand, in the model of Reissner [18] this flexibility is lost and only one choice of fields standing for rotations is admissible -namely that in which the assumptions of the Lax-Milgram lemma are fulfilled.
