β¦ Synopsis
A meshless approach based on the reproducing kernel particle method is developed for the exural, free vibration and buckling analysis of laminated composite plates. In this approach, the ΓΏrst-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is employed and the displacement shape functions are constructed using the reproducing kernel approximation satisfying the consistency conditions. The essential boundary conditions are enforced by a singular kernel method. Numerical examples involving various boundary conditions are solved to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method. Comparison of results with the exact and other known solutions in the literature suggests that the meshless approach yields an e ective solution method for laminated composite plates.
