Natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates are calculated by the meshless global collocation method based on Gaussian radial basis function. The accuracy of meshless global radial basis function collocation method depends on the choice of shape parameter of radial basis function. In present paper, the shape parameter of Gaussian radial basis function is optimized using the genetic algorithm. Gaussian radial basis function with optimal shape parameter is utilized to analyze the natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates. The present results are compared with the results of available literatures which verify the accuracy of present method.

This article presents a torsional analysis of solid elliptical, hollow circular, and actual bone sections of orthotropic and functionally graded material. The formulation of the governing equation is done using the Saint-Venant torsion theory. A classical power law is considered for the modelling of functionally graded material. Five different radial basis functions-based meshless methods are used for the discretization of the governing differential equations. MATLAB code is developed to solve the discretized partial differential equations. A convergence and validation study has been carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the present method. Numerical examples for torsional rigidity and shear stresses are presented for circular, elliptical, and bone-shaped irregular sections made up of orthotropic and functionally graded materials. Finally, the proposed radial basis function-based meshless method is applied to the modelling and torsional analysis of an actual bone cross-section.

The radial basis function (RBF) is a class of approximation functions commonly used in interpolation and least squares. The RBF is especially suitable for scattered data approximation and high dimensional function approximation. The smoothness and approximation accuracy of the RBF are affected by its shape parameter. There has been some research on the shape parameter, but the research on the optimal shape parameter of the least squares based on the RBF is scarce. This paper proposes a way for the measurement of the optimal shape parameter of the least squares approximation based on the RBF and an algorithm to solve the corresponding optimal parameter. The method consists of considering the shape parameter as an optimization variable of the least squares problem, such that the linear least squares problem becomes nonlinear. A dimensionality reduction is applied to the nonlinear least squares problem in order to simplify the objective function. To solve the optimization problem efficiently after the dimensional reduction, the derivative-free optimization is adopted. The numerical experiments indicate that the proposed method is efficient and reliable. Multiple kinds of RBFs are tested for their effects and compared. It is found through the experiments that the RBF least squares with the optimal shape parameter is much better than the polynomial least squares. The method is successfully applied to the fitting of real data.

Meshless collocation method based on generalized multiquadrics radial basis function is used to study the free vibration of simply supported laminated composite plates. The generalized multiquadric radial basis function g=[r2+c2]q has the exponent q and shape parameter c that play an important role in the accuracy of the approximation.
