for the free-vibration analysis of sandwich beams. To investigate the model performance, the
effect of the face-to-core stiffness and thickness ratios as well as beam slenderness are
taken into consideration. For comparison purposes, the results obtained by using the
Timoshenko's beam model, adopting an adequate shear correction factor, are given. The
RZT demonstrates its remarkable accuracy with respect to the Timoshenko's beam theory …
