This paper provides a new technique for solving free vibration problems of composite arbitrarily shaped membranes by using Generalized Differential Quadrature Finite Element Method (GDQFEM). The proposed technique, also known as Multi-Domain Differential Quadrature (MDQ), is an extension of the clas...
