A general variational formulation for the determination of natural frequencies and mode shapes of free vibration of symmetric laminated plates of trapezoidal and triangular shapes is presented in this work. The kinematics corresponding to the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FSDT) is used to take into account the effects of shear deformation and rotational inertia in the analysis.The developed...
