Radial Basis

The static and free vibration analysis of laminated shells is performed by radial basis functions collocation, according to Murakami’s zig-zag (ZZ) function (MZZF) theory . The MZZF theory accounts for through-the-thickness deformation, by considering a ZZ evolution of the transverse displacement with the thickness coordinate. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are obtained by Carrera’s Unified Formulation and further interpolated by collocation with radial basis functions.

Element Method

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.
