Abstract In this study, a model for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of the geometrically imperfect sandwich beam with functionally graded material (FGM) facets and auxetic honeycomb core is proposed. The auxetic feature of the honeycomb material is realized by a homogenization method, which gives the expressions of the effective material coefficients in terms of material property and cellular geometric parameters. The nonlinear motion equation of the geometrically imperfect beam is derived based on the Reddy's higher shear deformation theory, von Kármán nonlinear theory, as well as general geometric imperfection function. The thermal effect on the material properties and structural rigidity is also taken into account in this model. The Newmark method and Newton–Raphson iterative method are employed to solve the nonlinear motion equation of the sandwich beam. In numerical examples, the dynamic response of the sandwich beam under two types of load, i.e. moving load and impulse load, are discussed in details. The influences of various factors (such as material parameter, geometric imperfection, and thermal condition) on the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the sandwich beam are elaborately investigated. The numerical results show those factors can play significant roles in the bearing ability, structural stiffness, or nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the sandwich beam in certain conditions. Some key conclusions on the influences are drawn from the numerical results, which can be a useful reference for future investigations.
