Abstract
An accurate and efficient third-order shear deformation theory is presented for composite shells. The theory is capable of analyzing cross-ply and angle-ply shells. Static responses have been obtained under sinusoidally applied mechanical load on top surface. Natural frequencies have been obtained for free vibration. Forced vibration responses have been obtained under uniformly applied mechanical patch load. It is found that the theory is highly accurate in obtaining static and dynamic responses. This accurate model will be helpful to structural designers while carrying out design analysis of any shell type as well as shell panel type structures, structural elements, and machine elements.
