Damped response analyses by using simple ideas from the well-known dynamic modal analysis are performed in this paper. The present general methods are applied to the orthotropic continuum shell which is adopted as the analogue of a latticed cylindrical roof structure, and the variation of the vibration behaviour with geometric parameters or a premotion loading factor is clarified.
