An elasticity solution is presented for the three layered all round simply supported rectangular plate subjected to a uniformly distributed normal load. Numerical results have been obtained by selecting parameters such that they are applicable for sandwich plates. A detailed comparison of these results has been made with the results of sandwich plate theory developed by Monforton and Ibrahim.
