A new numerical technique, the differential quadrature element method (DQEM), has been developed for solving the free vibration of the discontinuous Mindlin plate in this paper. By the DQEM, the complex plate domain is decomposed into small simple continuous subdomains (elements) and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is applied to each continuous subdomain to solve the problems. The detailed formulations for the DQEM and the connection conditions between each element are presented. Several numerical examples are analyzed to demonstrate the accuracy and applicability of this new method to the free vibration analysis of the Mindlin plate with various discontinuities which are not solvable directly using the differential quadrature method.

The differential quadrature element method (DQEM) is used to solve the out-of-plane deflections of nonprismatic curved beam structures. The extended differential quadrature (EDQ) is used to discretize the governing differential equations defined on all elements, the transition conditions defined on the inter-element boundary of two adjacent elements and the boundary conditions. Numerical results obtained by DQEM are presented. They demonstrate the developed numerical solution procedure.

Abstract The differential quadrature element method (DQEM) and the extended differential quadrature (EDQ) have been proposed by the author. The EDQ is used to the DQEM vibration analysis frame structures. The element can be a nonprismatic beam considering the warping due to torsion. The EDQ technique is used to discretize the element-based differential eigenvalue equations, the transition conditions at joints and the boundary conditions on domain boundaries. An overall discrete eigenvalue system can be obtained by assembling all of the discretized equations. A numerically rigorous solution can be obtained by solving the overall discrete eigenvalue system. Mathematical formulations for the EDQ-based DQEM vibration analysis of nonprismatic structures considering the effect of warping torsion are carried out. By using this DQEM model, accurate results of frame problems can efficiently be obtained.
