“…Many pioneering studies have been carried out on the vibration analysis of the elastic cylindrical shells and structural systems, and some of them can be found, for instance, in (Smith, 1968;Chung, 1981;Joseph et al, 1987;Zhang et al, 2001;Toorani and Lakis, 2004;Gokhan and Burak, 2007;Xuebin, 2008;Liu et al, 2012;Xin et al, 2011;Khalifa, 2011a;El-Kaavazi and David, 2012;Lu et al, 2013;Yuehua et al, 2013;Tomabene et al, 2014a). Unlike the circular cylindrical shells, the study of vibration behavior for the noncircular cross-section shells has been received little attention in the past decade, but only a few important studies are concerned with the vibration analysis of the shells with three-lobed, four-lobed, oval, panel and elliptical cross-section (see for example (Culberson and Boyd, 1971;Sewel and Pusey, 1971;Chen and Kempner, 1978;Koumousis and Armenakas, 1983;Yamada et al, 1984Yamada et al, , 1985Sodatos, 1999;Ganapathi et al, 2003Ganapathi et al, , 2004Tomabene and Fantuzzi, 2013;Tomabene et al 2014b;Khalifa, 2010Khalifa, , 2011bKhalifa, ,c, 2014Khalifa, , 2015 ).…”
