Abstract (EN): In this article, the static and free vibration analysis of three-layer composite shells is performed by radial basis functions collocation, according to a new layerwise theory that considers independent layer rotations, accounting for through-the-thickness deformation by considering a linear evolution of all displacements with each layer thickness coordinate. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by the Carrera's Unified Formulation, and further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions.
