“…The exact natural frequencies were determined for various end conditions using the state space concept. Recently, Hajianmaleki and Qatu [10] developed a modified first order shear deformation theory accounting for deepness, laminate coupling, shear deformation, and rotary inertia for static and free vibration analyses of composite curved beams. They presented the exact solution for simply supported boundary condition as well as numerical solutions using the general differential quadrature method for other boundary conditions.…”
