A theoretical analysis is presented for the supersonic flutter of a simply-supported isotropic sandwich panel. The aerodynamic loading is described by a static approximation valid for a wide range of Mach number. Small deflection theory for sandwich plates which considers transverse shear deformations and rotary inertia in addition to bending is used. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effect of the rotary inertia parameter on the critical flutter speed of simply-suppor ted panels. Previous investigators have neglected this effect and results obtained are of an anomalous nature for certain plate parameters. The effect of such plate parameters as rotary inertia, transverse shear, and midplane stress resultants on the critical flutter speed are presented in graphical form.
