Abstract (EN):
In this article, the static and free vibration analysis of doubly-curved laminated shells is performed by radial basis functions collocation. The Reissner Mixed Variational Theorem (RMVT) via a Unified Formulation by Carrera is applied in order to obtain the equations of motion and the natural boundary conditions. The present theory accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, and directly computes displacements and transverse stresses in each interface of the laminate.
