Any arbitrarily shaped laminated composite shells of revolution can be sum of the conical shell elements. Therefore, finite element model of conical shell element will be developed in this study. To verify consistency and validity of this model, natural vibrations of this model is compared with the analytical solution of cylindrical shell. Herein, an extensive parametric study is presented to assess the modeling capability of this model in class of laminated composite cylinders. It is seen that the proposed model provides highly accurate results with analytical solution. Once development of this conical shell element is done, any arbitrarily shaped composite shells of revolution can be easily analyzed.
