Using a zig-zag model the free damped vibrations of sandwich shells of revolution are investigated. As special cases the vibration analysis under consideration of damping of cylindrical, conical and spherical sandwich shells is performed. A specific sandwich shell finite element with 54 degrees of freedom is employed. Starting from the energy method the damping model is developed. Numerical examples for the free vibration analysis with damping based on the proposed finite element approach are discussed. Results for sandwich shells show a satisfactory agreement with various reference solutions.
