✦ Synopsis

A four-node dierential quadrature (4NDQ) method is proposed as a simple, accurate and ecient numerical technique for bending analysis of Reissner/Mindlin plates in an arbitrarily straight-sided quadrilateral domain. For demonstration, a clamped skew rhombic plate is used as an example to illustrate the convergence, accuracy and eciency of the 4NDQ method.
