Abstract :In this study, an analytical solution for dynamic analysis of uniform and non-uniform cross-section cantilever sandwich beam is presented. The sandwich beam was assumed to be an Euler-Bernoulli beam and formed with a thin core and two thin skin layers. So the shear deformations and rotational effects were neglected. The equivalent flexural rigidity was obtained for the entire sandwich structure. Some implementations for the solution method are given and the results are compared with numerical solutions. The usability of the Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory for thin layered uniform or non-uniform sandwich beams is investigated. The solutions obtained from analytical and numerical solutions are in good agreement.
