β¦ Synopsis
A mesh-free method is presented to analyze the static de#ection and the natural frequencies of thin plates of complicated shape. The present method uses moving least-squares (MLS) interpolation to construct shape functions based on a set of nodes arbitrarily distributed in the analysis domain. Discrete system equations are derived from the variational form of system equation. For static analysis, a penalty method is presented to enforce the essential boundary conditions. For frequency analysis of free vibration, the essential boundary conditions are represented through a weak form and imposed using orthogonal transformation techniques. The present EFG method together with techniques for imposing boundary conditions is coded in Fortran. Numerical examples are presented for rectangular, elliptical, polygonal and complicated plates to demonstrate the convergence and e$ciency of the present method.

A uniformizing method is presented for the free vibration analysis of metal-piezoceramic composite thin plates which are popular structures of thin plate-type ultrasonic motors. A metal-piezoceramic composite thin plate is normally composed of a metal plate with one surface adhering to a piezoelectr
An Asymptotic-Numerical Method has been developed for large amplitude free vibrations of thin elastic plates. It is based on the perturbation method and the finite element method. This method eliminates the major difficulties of the classical perturbation methods, namely the complexity of the right
