A three-layer sandwich plate with a FDM-printed honeycomb core made of polycarbonate is considered. The
 upper and lower faces of the sandwich are made of a carbon fiber-reinforced composite. To study the
 response of the sandwich plate, the honeycomb core is replaced with a homogeneous layer with appropriate
 mechanical properties. To verify the honeycomb core model, a finite-element simulation of the
 representative volume of the core was performed using the ANSYS software package. A modification of the
 high-order shear theory is used to describe the structure dynamics. The assumed-mode method is used to
 simulate nonlinear forced oscillations of the plate. The Rayleigh–Ritz method is used to calculate the
 eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of the plate, in which the displacement of the plate points during
 nonlinear oscillations are expanded. This technique allows one to obtain a finite-degree-of-freedom
 nonlinear dynamic system, which describes the oscillations of the plate. The frequency response of the
 system is calculated using the continuation approach applied to a two-point boundary value problem for
 nonlinear ordinary differential equations and the Floquet multiplier method, which allows one to
 determine the stability and bifurcations of periodic solutions. The resonance behavior of the system
 is analyzed using its frequency response. 
The proposed technique is used to analyze the forced oscillations of a square three-layer plate clamped
 along the contour. The results of the analysis of the free oscillations of the plate are compared with
 those of ANSYS finite-element simulation, and the convergence of the results with increasing number of
 basis functions is analyzed. The comparison shows that the results are in close agreement. The analysis
 of the forced oscillations shows that the plate executes essentially nonlinear oscillations with  two
 saddle-node bifurcations in the frequency response curve, in which the periodic motion stability of the
 system changes. The nonlinear oscillations of the plate near the first fundamental resonance are mostly
 monoharmonic. They may be calculated using the describing function method.
