Abstract
Nonlinear forced vibration properties of three-layered plates containing graphene platelets (GPL) filled skins and an
auxetic core have been inquired within the present paper. Owning reduced weight as well as reduced stiffness, rectangle-shaped
auxetic cores have been frequently made from novel techniques such as additive manufacturing. Here, the rectangle shape core
is amplified via the graphene-filled layers knowing that the layers possess uniform and linear graphene gradations. The rectangle
shape core has the equivalent material specifications pursuant to relative density value. The sandwich plate is formulated
pursuant to Kirchhoff plate theory while a numerical trend has been represented to discretize the plate equations. Next, an
analytical trend has been performed to establish the deflection-frequency plots. Large deflections, core density and GPL
amplification have showed remarkable impacts on dynamic response of three-layered plates.
