TL;DR: In this paper, the free vibration problem of a homogeneous isotropic thick cylindrical shell or panel subjected to a certain type of simply supported edge boundary conditions is considered, and the governing equations of three-dimensional linear elasticity are employed and solved by using a new iterative approach which, in practice, leads to the prediction of the exact frequencies of vibration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the free vibration problem of thin elastic cross-ply laminated circular cylindrical panels is considered and a theoretical unification as well as a numerical comparison of the thin shell theories most commonly used (in engineering applications) is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a refined shear deformable theory for the dynamic analysis of laminated anisotropic plates as well as cylindrical shells of either circular or non-circular configuration is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the free vibration problem of a thin composite cross-ply laminated non-circular cylindrical shell subjected to an axial compression was studied, in the framework of the Donnell-type theory, in terms of the shell middle surface displacement components.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of thickness shear deformation and rotatory inertia on the free vibrations of antisymmetric angle-ply laminated circular cylindrical panels is investigated.
