Dynamic response of honeycomb-FGS shells subjected to the dynamic loading using non-polynomial higher-order IGA.

The main goal of this study is to use higher-order isogeometric analysis (IGA) to study the dynamic response of sandwich shells with an auxetic honeycomb core and two different functionally graded materials (FGM) skin layers (namely honeycomb-FGS shells) subjected to dynamic loading. Touratier's non-polynomial higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is used due to its simplicity and performance. The governing equation is derived from Hamilton's principle. After verifying the present approach, the effect of input parameters on the dynamic response of honeycomb-FGS shells is carried out in detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
