A novel formulation for linear dynamic analysis of laminated shell structures is presented, based on Interior Penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods and variable-order through-the-thickness kinematics.rnShell geometry is described by a NURBS-based parametrization and the presence of cut-outs is accounted for implicitly by a level set function.rnNumerical tests are provided to assess capabilities and accuracy of the proposed formulation.rn
