Abstract
The damping of the free vibrations of laminated composite conical shel ls is investigated. Finite element analysis of conical shells is perfo rmed by using the first-order shear deformation theory (FOSDT). Based on proposals of other researchers a damping model is developed in conn ection with the energy method (EM) and applied in order to calculate t he modal loss factors of laminated composite conical shells. Numerical examples for shells with linearly varying thickness are presented. Ex amples of calculation show a good agreement with experimental and nume rical results from the literature.
