Abstract
An exact procedure is presented for solving free vibrations of a rotating thin laminated composite shell of revolution with meridionally constant curvature. Based on the classical lamination theory, equations of motion and boundary conditions are obtained from the stationary conditions of the Lagrangian. The equations of motion are solved exactly using a power series expansion for symmetrically laminated, cross-ply shells. Frequencies and mode shapes of the shells having both ends clamped and both ends freely supported are presented to show the effects of rotating angular velocity, number of laminae, stacking sequences and other parameters on the frequencies and the mode shapes.
