In this paper, effects of adding a distributed attached mass added to the face sheets of sandwich panels on free vibration of the system are investigated. Higher order equivalent single layer (ESL) theory is expanded and used. Mass Inertias of the distributed attached mass are taking into account. Various design parameters including geometrical and material properties, such as density, thickness of the attached mass and the panel are investigated to show the decreasing effect on the fundamental natural frequency of the system due to the adding of the distributed attached mass.
