Shape Parameter Optimization of Inverse Multiquadrics Radial Basis Function for Vibration of Laminated Composite Plates

Article Preview

Abstract:

Free vibration of simply laminated composite plates is studied by the global collocation method based on inverse multiquadrics radial basis function. The choice of shape parameter of radial basis function has the important effect on the accuracy of meshless radial basis function collocation method. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the shape parameter of inverse multiquadrics radial basis function. The natural frequencies of simply supported laminated composite plates are calculated using the inverse multiquadrics radial basis function with optimal shape parameter and compared with the analytical solutions.
