Multilayer (ML) plate/shell finite elements (FEs) based on a versatile higher-order-deformable (HOD) theory are developed for free vibration analysis and damping prediction of damped composite laminates. The developed FEs allow one to arrange through-the-thickness degrees of freedom (DOF) by specifying the degrees of multilayer dicretization (ML, or Equivalent-Single-Layer: ESL) and deformation assumptions (First-Order-Shear-Deforable: FOSD, or HOD). By comparing the numerical results of the
