The objective of the present work is to analy e the vibration behavior of variable stiffness composite laminated plates !"S#$%. The formulation is based on first order shear deformation theory. A p&version finite element with hierarchic basis functions is used for the solution. The natural fre'uencies and mode shapes of different "S#$ plates are computed and compared with that of constant stiffness laminates.
