In order to solve the problems of limited installation space and strict additional quality, the effects of internal distributed nonlinear energy sinks (NES) considering optimal locations on a composite truss core sandwich plate are investigated in this paper. Choose five NESs here and inset them in the different places of the sandwich plate to suppress the vibration of the plate, which is excited by a half-wave shock. The coupled dynamic equations of the system are derived by the principle of conservation of energy. Then, the vibration-control performances of five NESs are discussed by numerical simulation. The distributions of the five NESs are analyzed, and the optimal position distributions are obtained. Based on the optimal location, the transient responses of the system are studied. Moreover, the performances of five NESs and a single NES are compared in different dimensions. Finally, it is found that the selection of parameters has a great impact on the effectiveness of the five NESs. The new distribution way is introduced to improve the suppression effects of the five NESs in the sandwich plate.
