Frequency optimization of laminated skewed open cylindrical shells

This paper deals with frequency optimization of symmetrically laminated skewed open cylindrical shells. The design objective is the maximization of the fundamental frequency and the design variable is the fiber orientations. The first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is used for the finite elem...
