The numerical solutions of the unsteady transient-convective diffusion problems are investigated by using multiquadric (MQ) and thin-plate spline (TPS) radial basis functions (RBFs) based on mesh-free collocation methods with global basis functions. The results of radial basis functions are compared with the mesh-dependent boundary element and finite difference methods as well as the analytical solution for high Péclet numbers. It is reported that for low Péclet numbers, MQ-RBF provides excellent agreement, while for high Péclet numbers, TPS-RBF is better than MQ-RBF.

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) based on nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS) is applied for static and free vibration analysis of laminated composite plates by using the third order shear deformation theory (TSDT). TSDT requires C1-continuity of generalized displacements and NURBS basis functions are well-suited for this requirement. Due to the noninterpolatory nature of NURBS basis functions, a penalty method is applied to enforce the essential boundary conditions. The validity and accuracy of the present method are demonstrated through a series of numerical examples of isotropic and laminated composite plates with different shapes, boundary conditions, fiber orientations, lay-up numbers, and so forth. The obtained numerical results are compared with either the analytical solutions or other available numerical methods.
