Free vibration of laminated cross-ply plates with variable thickness including shear deformation theory

Free vibration of laminated cross-ply plates of variable thickness including transverse shear deformation are studied using spline approximation. The method of collocation with splines is applied due to the possibility that a chain of lower order approximations can yield greater accuracy than a glob...
