Bending Response of Exponentially Graded Plates by a Meshless Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present paper, the higher order shear deformation theories of Touratier and Karama and meshless global collocation method based on the inverse multiquadric radial basis function are used to analyze the bending response of the exponentially graded plates. The material properties of the plates vary exponentially in the thickness direction. The present results are compared with three-dimensional elasticity solutions.
