Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates by Local Inverse Multiquadrics Collocation Method

Abstract:

In present paper, deflection and stress of laminated composite plates are analyzed by a meshless local collocation method based on inverse multiquadrics radial basis function. This method approximates the governing equations based on first-order shear deformation theory using the nodes in the support domain of any data center. Transverse displacement, normal stresses, and shear stresses of the simply supported laminated composite plates under sinusoidal load are computed by the present method. The convergence characteristics are studied by several numerical examples. The present results are compared with available published results which demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of present method.
