Effect of transverse shear

Effect of transverse shear

Effect of transverse shear

(OP)
Hi all,
I have modeled honeycomb sandwich plates under uniform pressure in NASTRAN and have found that considering transverse shear deformation is important in modeling honeycomb sandwich structures. However,in many cases of treating solid plates , we can make the transverse shear stiffness infinity , because shear deformation is much smaller than bending deformation.
My questions are,
 In what condition should I consider transverse shear deformation except honeycomb sandwich panels ?
Would you like tell me somewhat "formulas" which indicate the intensity of shear defomation of plate? If you know. (I'd like to check NASTRAN results by hand calculation.)

Any help would be nice. Thanks
