AbstractIn this paper the free vibrations and buckling analysis of laminated plates is performed using a global meshless method. A refined version of Kant’s theorie which accounts for transverse normal stress and through-the-thickness deformation is used. The innovation is the use of oscillatory radial basis functions. Numerical examples are performed and results are presented and compared to available references. Such functions proved to be an alternative to the tradicional nonoscillatory radial basis functions.

The paper deals with a div-curl approximation problem by weighted minimizing splines. The weighted minimizing splines are an extension of the well-known thin plate splines and are radial basis functions which allow the approximation or the interpolation of a scalar function from given scattered data. In this paper, we show that the theory of the weighted minimizing splines may also be used for the approximation or for the interpolation of a vector field controlled by the divergence and the curl of the vector field. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of this method.
