The first three out of plane bending free vibration of symmetric laminated beams is studied by Timoshenko's first order shear deformation theory. For the numerical analyses, ANSYS 13.0 software package is utilized. The results show that the hole diameter, stacking layer sequence and hole location have important effect especially on the second and third mode natural frequency values for the short beams and the high temperatures affects the natural frequency values significantly. The results are presented in tabular and graphical form. © 2014 Techno-Press, Ltd.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNatural frequenciesFinite element analysisLayered structuresCut-outArticle2-s2.0-8490363150610.12989/sem.2014.51.1.11110.12989/sem.2014.51.1.111
