This paper is concerned with the vibration analysis of rectangular, symmetric composite sandwich plates and the layup optimization of top and bottom laminated FRP composite faces. The fundamental frequency of the composite sandwich plate is discussed in the subspace of four in-plane lamination parameters of the laminated FRP composite face, and the optimum laminate configuration which maximizes the fundamental frequency is determined.
