Abstract
The present work proposes the response of composite laminated cylindrical shell using higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT). For the finite element formulation a displacement field having five degrees of freedom is considered and a nine noded isoparametric element is used. The finite element model is developed using MATLAB code. The numerical results are obtained for the deflection of cylindrical shell for arbitrary boundary condition, stacking angle and radius to thickness ratio. The results are validated using literature and it shows good agreement
