Elastostatic Deformations of a Thick Plate by using a Higher-Order Shear and Normal Deformable Plate Theory and two Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) Methods

چکیده
We use two meshless local Petrov-Galerkin formulations, namely, the MLPG1 and the MLPG5, to analyze infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic thick elastic plate with a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory. It is found that the two MLPG formulations give results very close to those obtained by other researchers and also by the threedimensional analysis of the problem by the finite element method.

Static and dynamic deformations of thick functionally graded elastic plates by using higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory and meshless local Petrov–Galerkin method
Static deformations, and free and forced vibrations of a thick rectangular functionally graded elastic plate are analyzed by using a higherorder shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) and a meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. All components of the stress tensor are computed from equations of the plate theory. The plate material, made of two isotropic constituents, is assum...
متن کاملAnalysis of thick plates by using a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory and MLPG method with radial basis functions
Infinitesimal deformations of a homogeneous and isotropic thick elastic plate have been analyzed by using a meshless local Petrov– Galerkin (MLPG) method and a higher-order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HONSDPT). Radial basis functions (RBF) are employed for constructing trial solutions, while a spline function is used as the weight function over a local subdomain. The present metho...

The meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method with radial basis functions (RBFs), and the higher order shear and normal deformable plate theory (HOSNDPT) are used to analyze static infinitesimal deformations of thick laminated composite elastic plates under different boundary conditions. Two types of RBFs, namely, multiquadrics (MQ) and thin plate splines (TPS), are employed for constructing...
متن کاملThree dimensional static and dynamic analysis of thick plates by the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method under different loading conditions
In this paper, three dimensional (3D) static and dynamic analysis of thick plates based on the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) is presented. Using the kinematics of a three-dimensional continuum, the local weak form of the equilibrium equations is derived. A weak formulation for the set of governing equations is transformed into local integral equations on local sub-domains by using a uni...

In this paper the meshless local Petrov-Galerkin (MLPG) method is implemented to study the buckling of isotropic cylindrical shells under axial load. Displacement field equations, based on Donnell and first order shear deformation theory, are taken into consideration. The set of governing equations of motion are numerically solved by the MLPG method in which according to a semi-inverse method, ...
