The static and free vibration analysis of laminated shells is performed by radial basis functions collocation, according to Murakami’s zig-zag (ZZ) function (MZZF) theory . The MZZF theory accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, by considering a ZZ evolution of the transverse displacement with the thickness coordinate. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by Carrera’s Unified Formulation and further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions.

A study of free vibration of Timoshenko beams and Mindlin plates is presented whereby the analysis is based on the radial basis function method. Various approaches for computing eigenvalues using radial basis functions are also discussed together with the numerical results for various thickness-to-length ratios.
