Abstract: | Nonlinear vibrations of viscoelastic orthotropic and isotropic shells are mathematically modeled using a geometrically nonlinear
Timoshenko theory. Nonlinear problems are solved by using the Bubnov-Galerkin method and a numerical method based on quadrature
formulas. Results obtained from different theories are compared and analyzed. For each problem, the Bubnov-Galerkin method
is tested for convergence. The influence of the viscoelasticity and inhomogeneity of materials on the vibrations of plates
is demonstrated
