A study on the free-vibration analysis of plates and shells is described in this paper. In order to determine the natural frequencies of plates and shells, a nine-node degenerated shell element is developed by using the degenerated solid concept based on Reissner}Mindlin (RM) assumptions which allow
Many engineering applications require accurate and rapidly computed thin-shell elements. Rotation-free (RF) shell elements include the bending behaviour of thin shells without introducing any additional degrees of freedom compared to a membrane element. Instead, constant curvatures are approximated
