description This study is conducted to analyse the free vibration of rectangular plates, circular plates and conical shells of anti-symmetric angle-ply laminated composite using classical theory, first order shear deformation theory and third order shear deformation theory of constant and variable thickness. The variations of thickness used are in the form of linear, exponential and sinusoidal. Free vibration of conical shells with constant thickness is investigated under classical theory. An extended study has been done by using developed shell theories where shear deformation is included. Free vibration of circular plates of variable thickness is analysed under first order shear deformation theory. Using the same theory, the free vibration analysis of conical shells for variable thickness is conducted. Third order shear deformation theory is adopted to the study of free vibration of rectangular plates for variable thickness. In this study, stress resultants and strain-displacement relations are substituted into the governing equation of structures.
