Frequency optimization of laminated composite spherical shells

This paper deals with frequency optimization of symmetrically laminated angle-ply spherical shells. The design objective is the maximization of the fundamental frequency, and the design variable is the fiber orientation in the layers. The first-order shear deformation theory and nine-node isoparamet...
